In Search of the Bright and Pristine Mountains and Streams of Yeongyang

There is a firefly ecological park in Yeongyang. It can be said to be a pollution-free and clean area. Camping among the beautiful Geumgang pine trees and outstanding scenery at Ilwolsan Mountain's clean Seonnyeotang and Geommasan Mountain Natural Recreation Forest is an opportunity to reset both body and mind. In particular, the ecological experience at the nearby firefly park will be a good experience for children.

Details

Irwolsan

Ilwolsan Mountain (1,219m) is majestic and huge as it rises high in the air. The summit is flat and not steep. It is called Ilwolsan Mountain because it faces the East Sea to the east and is the first place to see the rising sun and moon. At the top, there are two peaks, Iljabong and Woljabong, and there is a temple site called Cheonchuksa Temple, Sanryeonggak, Mrs. Hwang's temple, Yonghwasa Temple, and Cheonhwasa Temple.
\nIn particular, Ilwolsan Mountain is located at the foot of Taebaeksan Mountain and is known as Yeosan Mountain with strong yin energy. On the last day of the year, shamans from all over the country visit this mountain and perform a Naerimgut with added spirituality and magic. It is also a place revered as a sacred mountain by shamans, as it is said that doing so can lead to magical fortune telling. And the wild greens from Ilwolsan Mountain (bracken, chamnamul, geumjuk, namulchwi, etc.) that grow naturally in Simsanyugok have a good scent and taste.\n

Yeongyang Dumesongha Village

Dume Songha Village is a beautiful place boasting a clean natural environment, including Maebong Mountain, a beautiful forest of pine trees and various broad-leaved trees, nearby Tugubong Peak, and the clear and clean Songha Valley that surrounds the village. \nIn addition to rare flora and fauna such as eagle owls, otters, musk, evening primrose colonies, and reed field colonies, Songha Valley is home to willow fish and sea lily, and trout are farmed using the clean valley water, allowing you to observe a variety of freshwater fish and taste a variety of dishes. The village has its own Jangseung Theme Park and Haedalmoe Learning Experience Center, where you can try out a variety of experience programs. \n

Lunch (Seonbawi Garden)

The peppers grown in Yeongyang-gun, where daily temperature differences are severe, have thick skin, a lot of vegetable fat, and a deep and bright color. When ground, they produce a lot of powder, and the color and taste are well expressed in the soup. For this reason, it is famous for its 'Yangyang pepper', which has gained national fame, and is also famous for producing a lot of mountain vegetables. Ilwolsan Mountain Vegetables, named as they are said to be the first to see the sun and moon, were presented to the king during the Joseon Dynasty. In particular, 'Geumjuk' was said to be prized even at the royal court for its excellent taste and aroma. So, I recommend that you try the local food of this house, which is made with wild vegetables canned by the owner's family on Mt. Ilwolsan. \n

nutrition market

Yeongyang Market is a market with tradition and roots that started in 1918. Initially, the nutrition market developed as a form of barter for fresh marine products from the east coast and agricultural products produced in the inland, but it is currently a regional market centered on agricultural products. Excellent local agricultural products such as wild vegetables, dried peppers, and fruits are traded. There are various attractions such as Firefly Ecological Park, Seonbawi Tourist Site, and Ilwolsan Mountain.\n
