Woraksan National Park
Chungcheongbuk-do(Jecheon-si)

The Woraksan Mountains are filled with valleys and beautiful waterfalls.

In wintertime the snow covered scenery of this National Park is breathtaking, and has been compared to Korea’s famous Geumgangsan Mountains. The park contains an abundance of wildlife and plants, many of which are extremely rare, so some hiking courses are regulated to prevent forest fires and ensure their protection.
