#summervacay Okay, Sanghafarm in Chungcheongbuk-do totally stole my heart. It’s like stepping into a wholesome countryside dream, but make it aesthetic. There’s a little bit of everything, fields, cute animals, cozy cafés, and even a cheese-making spot (yes, cheese!!). The whole vibe is super chill and perfect for a slow day. I wandered around the garden areas, said hi to some sheep (they’re SO fluffy), and grabbed a latte at their dreamy café overlooking the hills. They’ve got a shop where you can buy fresh dairy stuff too, yogurt, milk, cheese, the real deal. There’s also this glass greenhouse area with plants and chill seating, which is peak Instagrammable. And if you're into trying hands-on stuff, they’ve got little workshops you can book too. Honestly, it’s not crazy adventurous, but that’s the charm. Peaceful, pretty, and full of that “I wanna live on a farm now” energy. Perfect for couples, families, or just solo escaping the city noise. Loved every second.

#summervacay Okay, so I didn’t expect to be this obsessed with a plant center, but the Okcheon Aquatic Plant Learning Center? Kinda blew my mind. It's like a chill little paradise where you can walk through ponds, see floating gardens, and actually *learn* stuff without it feeling like school. Super peaceful, with dragonflies zipping around and frogs randomly jumping out like they own the place 😂. Inside, there's a mini-exhibit area with cool facts about how aquatic plants clean water (who knew duckweed was such a hero?). The outdoor walkways are totally Insta-worthy, especially during summer when everything’s blooming like crazy. You’ll feel like you’re walking through some dreamy nature documentary. Perfect for a slow afternoon or if you’re just tired of the usual touristy stuff. Bonus: barely any crowd. It's lowkey one of those hidden gems in Chungcheongbuk that makes you wanna slow down, breathe, and appreciate the lil green things in life

#summervacay Suamsa Temple was such a peaceful little escape! Tucked away in the hills of Chungcheongbuk-do, it wasn’t packed with tourists, which made the whole visit feel even more special. The walk up to the temple is super easy and relaxing, with trees lining the path and birds chirping like you're in some kind of zen nature playlist. The temple buildings are beautifully aged, giving off that classic, calm Korean temple vibe. There’s a quiet stream nearby, and the soft sound of water plus the fresh air? Total stress detox. I even found a spot to sit and just chill for a while, no rush, no noise, just good vibes. Honestly, it’s not flashy or big, but that’s kind of the charm. If you’re into calm strolls, low-key nature, and peaceful corners of Korean culture, Suamsa is worth a stop. Bring a snack, enjoy the breeze, and let the temple’s stillness do its thing.

#summervacay Seodaesan Peak in Chungcheongbuk-do is one of those underrated gems that totally sneaks up on you. The hike itself is mellow for the most part, nothing too brutal, but it still gives you that satisfying “heck yeah, I climbed a mountain” feeling by the time you hit the summit. The trail is surrounded by peaceful forest, and there’s this quiet, almost meditative vibe the whole way up. What’s super cool is how the scenery changes as you climb, starting with dense woods, then opening up to rocky paths and some awesome ridgeline views. If you're lucky, you’ll catch low clouds drifting through the valleys like something out of a dream. There’s a small wooden sign at the top, perfect for that “I made it!” photo. Pack some snacks, take your time, and enjoy the calm. It’s not a famous mountain, but that’s part of what makes it special. Fewer crowds, more nature, and a solid reset for the soul.

#summervacay Took a relaxed hike through Recreational Forest, and it was the perfect nature reset. The trail is about 3.1 km long, winding through a mix of pine, maple, and cypress trees. Along the way, you’ll cross wooden bridges, pass by a wishing rock, and stroll through a peaceful garden. The forest is especially popular in autumn when the leaves turn vibrant colors. The forest is also home to Geumcheon Valley, known for its clear waters, adding to the serene atmosphere. If you're into nature walks, forest healing, or just need a peaceful spot to recharge, Jangnyeongsan is a great choice. Plus, it's got a campsite, convenience store, and lodging, making it easy to spend a day or even stay overnight. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just looking for a quiet place to enjoy nature, Jangnyeongsan offers a refreshing escape. Just bring water and comfy shoes for the best experience.

#summervacay Spent a peaceful day hiking around Chukryeongsan Natural Recreation Forest in Danyang, and such a refreshing break from the usual hustle. The whole area is super green, super quiet, and just what you need when you wanna disappear into nature for a bit. The trails are well-kept but still feel wild enough to make it an adventure. Plus, the forest smells amazing, like pine and fresh earth with every step. There’s a nice mix of uphill and flatter stretches, and the views from the higher points? Totally worth the sweat. It’s not crazy steep, but it’ll get your heart going in a good way. Best part? After your hike, you can chill at one of the picnic spots or just lay back and listen to the wind through the trees. If you’re into forest walks, bird sounds, and mountain air, this place hits the spot. Super underrated and super chill, exactly what I needed.

#summervacay Took a super chill ride on the Janghoe Ferry at Chungjuho Lake, and it was the perfect lazy-day escape. Located in Danseong-myeon, Chungcheongbuk-do, this tourist ship ride isn’t about high thrills, it’s all about soaking in those peaceful lake views, gentle breezes, and feeling like you’ve stepped out of real life for a minute. The boat itself is big and comfy, with upper decks that give you wide-open views of the calm water and surrounding mountains. The whole trip felt like a moving postcard, especially when the sun hit the cliffs and made the lake shimmer. The ferry glides slow enough that you can just relax, snap a few pics, or even space out in the best way possible. If you’re in the area and want to chill without hiking or sweating, this is your move. 100% recommend pairing it with a snack from the nearby stalls, bonus points if you grab some hotteok.

#summervacay Took a super random hike up Haogogae in Chungcheongbuk-do and honestly? It was small but sweet. Not a huge mountain or anything intense, but perfect for when you just wanna stretch your legs and get some fresh air without going full beast mode. The trail was short and mellow, with some gentle uphill and shady forest vibes most of the way. Super quiet too, barely ran into anyone, which made it feel like my own little nature escape. Definitely a good “reset your brain” kind of hike. Once you reach the summit, there’s a nice open space with surprisingly solid views for such a chill climb. Rolling hills, scattered trees, and that peaceful countryside energy that makes you just wanna sit down and do nothing for a bit. Which I did. With snacks, obviously. If you're in the area and don’t feel like breaking a sweat but still want a mountaintop moment, Haogogae is a lowkey winner. Peaceful, easy, and just the right amount of outdoorsy.

#summervacay Finally tackled the summit of Woraksan and wow, this one’s a beauty. The trail is a bit of a leg burner, not gonna lie, but totally worth every step. It kicks off with forest trails that feel super lush and peaceful, tons of shade, birds chirping, and that perfect earthy smell. As you climb higher, it gets steeper and a little rocky, so yeah, prepare to sweat a bit. But the views just keep getting better and better. The summit? Absolutely stunning. Full panoramic shot of mountains on mountains, with rivers and villages sprinkled in way down below. It’s one of those “I can’t believe this is real” moments. Took a long break at the top with some gimbap and tangerines, solid summit snack combo, btw. The breeze was perfect, and the clouds were just floating by like they were on vacation too. Woraksan’s no joke, but if you’re up for the climb, it seriously delivers. Nature therapy at its finest.

#summervacay Took a spontaneous hike up Hwangaksan, and wow why is no one talking about this place?! The trail starts off mellow, just strolling through forest paths with leaves crunching under your feet. Super quiet, barely ran into anyone, which was kinda perfect. Total zen mode. Halfway up, things get steeper and a little sweaty, but nothing too wild. The best part? The ridge walk! You get these awesome panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and little pockets of farmland below. It’s the kind of view that makes you wanna just sit down and snack forever. At the summit, there’s a cool marker and some nice spots to chill. I brought some triangle kimbap and just took it all in. Not a tough hike, but enough to feel accomplished. Also, major bonus, hardly any bugs compared to some other trails I’ve been on lately. If you’re ever in Yeongdong, give Hwangaksan a shot. Super underrated and totally worth the climb.

#summervacay Hwabuk-myeon in Chungcheongbuk-do? Total hidden gem. I had zero expectations but ended up wandering into one of the chillest nature zones I’ve seen in a while. You’ve got big boulders randomly chilling like ancient giants, forested hills with that soft spring green, and this crystal-clear stream weaving through the whole scene like a postcard come to life. One spot had this gigantic rock sitting majestically like it owned the place, felt like something out of a Ghibli movie. There’s even a bridge with great mountain views on one side and a quiet river bend on the other, perfect for slow walking and zoning out. And let’s not skip that wide rock pool with emerald water. I swear it whispered, “Take a dip,” even if it was clearly roped off. It’s not touristy, which made it even better, just nature doing its thing without the crowds. Perfect spot for a mellow hike, sketching, or just soaking in the vibes. Bring snacks, stay curious, and wander slow.

#summervacay Headed out to Gaeunsan in Jecheon, Chungbuk, and it was such a chill way to spend the morning. This one’s not a beast of a mountain, so don’t worry, your legs won’t hate you later. The trail starts off nice and easy, winding through peaceful woods with that clean mountain air and zero city noise. Just birds, trees, and your footsteps. The climb picks up a bit as you go, but it’s all super doable. A few rocky patches here and there keep it interesting, and before you know it, you’re at the top. The summit has this super open view of the surrounding countryside, nothing too dramatic, but definitely beautiful in that quiet, simple way. What I loved most? Barely any crowds. Felt like I had the whole mountain to myself. It’s the perfect spot if you want a quick escape into nature without needing a full-day commitment. Pack some water, take your time, and let Gaeunsan reset your vibe.

#summervacay Hit up Jangnyeongsan Mountain in Okcheon and wow, it’s one of those underrated gems that just surprises you. The trail eases you in with peaceful forest paths, super green and quiet, like, the kind of quiet where you can hear your own thoughts (and your stomach if you forgot snacks). It’s not too steep at first, so it’s perfect for warming up and just taking it slow. As you climb, the trees open up a bit and you start getting sneak peeks of the view. The higher you go, the better it gets, classic mountain layers, fresh breeze, and that cool moment when you realize you’re way above everything else. The summit has a chill vibe, perfect for taking a break and just soaking it all in. It’s not too crowded, which makes it even better. Just you, the mountain, and maybe a couple friendly hikers. If you’re ever in Okcheon and craving a peaceful adventure, Jangnyeongsan is totally worth checking out.

#summervacay Decided to check out Galgisan over in Yeongdong, and honestly? Solid move. It’s one of those underrated mountains that quietly delivers. The trail starts out pretty chill, weaving through pine trees and soft forest paths, but don’t be fooled, it gets steeper and rockier as you go. Nothing too wild though, just enough to get the heart pumping. Midway up, you start getting those awesome ridge views, and that’s when it really hits, yo, this place is gorgeous. Big skies, rolling hills in the distance, and the wind doing its mountain whisper thing. Kinda made me stop and just stare for a while. At the top, there’s this rugged, wide-open feeling. Not super crowded, which made it even better. Just me, the breeze, and a snack I forgot I packed (best kind of surprise). If you're in the mood for a scenic climb with lots of nature and zero city noise, Galgisan’s a hidden gem. Would hike again, for sure.

#summervacay Mt. Cheontae in the Yeongdong area is one of those lowkey spots that totally delivers without trying too hard. The trail isn’t wild or super steep, just a nice, steady climb through quiet forest paths that feel like a nature spa. It’s calm, green, and honestly kinda meditative. One of the coolest surprises was the temple tucked along the way. Totally peaceful, incense in the air, monks doing their thing, it just added this really chill vibe to the whole hike. I ended up sitting there for a bit, just soaking in the silence. As you get closer to the top, the views start peeking through the trees, and they’re gorgeous. Not dramatic cliffs or anything, but that wide, rolling countryside that just makes you wanna stay a while. There weren’t many people around either, which made it feel even more special. If you’re into laid-back hiking with a little bit of soul, Mt. Cheontae is seriously worth checking out.

#summervacay Cheontaesan was such a pleasant surprise. It’s not one of those super famous, bucket-list mountains, but that’s honestly what made it so great, no big crowds, just pure nature vibes. The trail starts off nice and easy, weaving through shady forest with the sound of water nearby pretty much the whole way. Super relaxing. There’s a cute little stream that runs along the path, and a few wooden bridges that made it feel extra peaceful. The best part? The waterfalls! Cheontaesan’s got some legit scenic spots where the water tumbles over the rocks, and it’s the perfect place to chill for a bit or dip your hands in. The incline’s super manageable, so it’s a great trail for a casual day out, not too intense, but still gives you that “I did something outdoorsy today” feeling. I ended the hike feeling refreshed instead of wrecked. If you're craving an easygoing adventure with forest, fresh air, and good vibes, Cheontaesan delivers for sure.

#summervacay Minjujisan isn’t one of those super hyped-up mountains, but honestly? That’s what makes it such a gem. I went in with zero expectations and came out totally refreshed. The trail starts off nice and forest-y, like nature’s version of a cozy blanket. Super quiet, with just the sound of rustling leaves and birds doing their thing. There were a few steeper spots that got my legs talking, but nothing too intense. The best part? That soft mountain mist that rolls in as you go higher. It wrapped around the trees and made everything feel all mysterious and dreamy, like walking through a Studio Ghibli scene. The summit isn’t flashy, but the peaceful vibe up top is chef’s kiss. Great place to chill, munch on trail snacks, and just enjoy the quiet. Barely ran into other hikers, which made it feel like my own little mountain escape. If you’re into low-key hikes with soul, Minjujisan’s your go-to.

#summervacay Took a spontaneous hike up Cheonghwasan, and it was such a chill, underrated gem. The trail starts off gentle, winding through peaceful woods that seriously feel like they belong in a Ghibli film. Birds singing, soft breezes, and barely a soul around. Total reset for the brain. The path does get steeper in parts, but nothing too wild. Just enough to get a good sweat going without destroying your legs. Plus, there are a few rocky spots to keep things interesting. The summit isn’t super high, but man, the views still hit hard, rolling hills, little villages, and that calm, open sky. Hung out at the top with some gimbap and tea, just vibing. Not a tourist hotspot, which made it feel even more special. Perfect for a quiet weekend hike when you just wanna get away without doing a full-on mountain marathon. If you’re into peaceful trails with cozy views, Cheonghwasan’s a total win. Bring snacks, good tunes, and just enjoy the calm.

#summervacay Checked out Cheonju Mountain on a random day off, and honestly? Super underrated. The trail starts out with this peaceful forest vibe, tall trees, birds chirping, and barely any people around. It’s one of those hikes where you can actually hear yourself think (or blast your playlist without judging looks). The incline’s pretty chill most of the way, with a few steeper parts that get your heart going but nothing too wild. Along the way, there are these little rest spots where you can just sit and vibe with nature. Then, out of nowhere, you hit the summit and get this wide-open view of the surrounding countryside. Not the tallest mountain ever, but the view hits different. There was a tiny pavilion at the top where I just sat for like 30 minutes eating snacks and doing nothing. 10/10 peaceful. If you’re into quiet hikes with pretty scenery and no stress, Cheonju Mountain’s a solid pick. Definitely going back when I need a reset.

#summervacayOkay, so I somehow convinced myself to hike up to Munjangdae Peak at Songnisan, 1,054 meters of “why am I doing this” followed by “ohhh okay, this is worth it.” The trail starts out nice and friendly, then suddenly it’s like, stairs... rocks... more stairs... and your legs start questioning life choices. But the forest is beautiful, like straight out of a fantasy movie. Super quiet, just birds and your own wheezing (lol). Right before the peak, there’s this intense rock section where you're basically climbing up with railings and praying a little. But then you hit the top and BAM—ridiculous views. Mountains for days, clouds doing their thing, and this peaceful temple-looking structure that makes you feel like a wise mountain monk. I sat up there, sweaty and proud, snacking on trail mix like it was a feast. Totally epic. If you're up for a little suffering with a big payoff, Munjangdae’s got you. Just bring water… and maybe a second pair of legs.
