Overview
Geumgang Natural Recreation Forest is made up of mostly broad-leaved trees. From the forest, visitors can overlook Geumgang River which is in the heart of Chungcheongnam-do. In addition, there are various facilities such as a forest museum, an arboretum, a greenhouse, an animal village, a wild flower garden, a pond, and a pavilion, and more that make this one of the biggest forest culture recreational and educational sites in Korea. In particular, the building of the Forest Museum is modeled in the traditional architectural style of the Baekje Dynasty. There are six exhibition rooms, each with a different theme. About 3,000 pieces of forest-related materials are on display, and real-sized models of the ginkgo trees of Geumsan Mountain, the shrine trees of Gongju, and the pine trees of Anmyeondo Island. The big greenhouse has a glass dome and houses tropical and subtropical plants. The Wild Animal Village features Asiatic Black Bears, wild boars, mandarin ducks, and eagles.
