Wondaeri Birch Forest
Wondaeri Birch Forest, also known as the Whispering Birch Forest, is a beautiful natural eco-tourism destination. Created by planting 690,000 birch trees between 1974 and 1995, the forest features walking trails, an outdoor classroom, observation decks, and unique structures like Indian-style huts. Visitors can reach the forest via two main paths—the Wonjeong Forest Road (approx. 80 mins) or the Wondae Forest Road (approx. 1 hour). The forest is famous for its dense, exotic scenery where white birch trunks glow against the sky. Course 1 (Birch Course) is the most popular, covering 0.9km and taking about 50 minutes, leading to the heart of the birch grove. It is especially popular in winter for its snowy, fairytale-like views and offers various nature-themed activities for families with children.
