The name Hoenamjae is said to have come from the Joseon Dynasty scholar Nammyeong Jo Sik (1501-1572), who was training younger students in Deoksan, Sancheong, below Jiri Mountain. Around 1560, after hearing that the land of Akyang had beautiful scenery and was good for living, he climbed to the top of the hill to visit Akyang himself, but for some reason he turned around and returned to Sancheong instead of going down to Akyang. Therefore, it is called Hoenamjae, derived from Nam (南) in Nam’s name and Hoe (回), which means returning. Hoenamjae has been an industrial activity corridor connecting Hadong Market and other places since the Joseon Dynasty and a communication road widely used by residents around Jiri Mountain, including Sancheong and Hamyang. Nowadays, it is a place loved by forest trekking, mountain climbing, and walking enthusiasts while enjoying the excellent surrounding scenery.
Hoenamjae holds the Hoenamjae Forest Trail Walking Event every October. It is a forest trail located at 740m above sea level connecting Hadong Cheonghak-dong and Akyang-myeon, and the distance is 6km one way.
