The monochrome landscape is filled with colorful and vibrant hues, and the crowds eager to enjoy spring create a lively atmosphere everywhere. Today, for those who want to enjoy a special trip of their own, we introduce a spring travel course in Uljin where you can enjoy the three types of baths: forest (forest bathing), hot springs (hot spring bathing), and sea (seawater bathing).

Walk through the forest in spring! Sinseon Valley, a deep and lush valley beneath Baegam Mountain in Onjeong-myeon.

Also called Seonsigol, this place is said to be named Sinseon Valley because it is like a place where immortals played.

The entire valley is filled with pine and oak trees, and the rocks of various shapes harmonize with the valley water to create a scenic beauty.

Upon entering Sinseon Valley, you can encounter a magnificent mural rarely seen deep in the mountains. It is a mural painted on a concrete wall built to prevent mineral waste runoff from the Geumjang Mine in Uljin, themed around the Uljin Geumgang Pine.

Although it has faded somewhat since it was first painted, the realistically depicted retaining wall mural blends with the living nature, offering a unique charm and serving as a photo zone in its own right.

Most of Sinseon Valley is made up of bedrock, making it easy for even beginner hikers to climb. This is because most of the trails are wooden decks.

As you leisurely enjoy the surrounding scenery while ascending the valley, you will come across Yongso, a pond where a dragon is said to have ascended to heaven. From the suspension bridge crossing Yongso, you can experience the unique charm of Sinseon Valley that rivals any other scenic spot.

Because it is such a deep valley, spring arrives slowly in Sinseon Valley, which is now just beginning to welcome spring. The shyly blooming spring flowers among the bizarre rocks and the budding green sprouts on the trees quietly and modestly deliver the news of spring.

Take a break in spring! Baegam Hot Springs. If your eyes were delighted by Sinseon Valley, now it’s time to please your body.

Baegam Hot Springs in Onjeong-myeon, close to Sinseon Valley, has a deep history with various legends saying that people have bathed here and been healed since the Silla Dynasty.

Baegam Hot Springs is well-known among those who know, praised for its excellent water quality and various benefits.

The colorless and odorless hot spring water at 53℃ is suitable for hot spring bathing, and it contains beneficial components such as sodium, fluoride, and calcium, which are highly effective for chronic dermatitis, endometritis, gynecological diseases, stroke, and arteriosclerosis.

However, even without considering these effects, soaking your tired body in the comfortably warm hot spring after hiking melts away fatigue and brings a relaxing comfort that makes you envy no one in the world.

Moreover, you don’t have to go far after hiking to enjoy the hot springs, making it truly the icing on the cake.

After healing your eyes and body with Sinseon Valley and the hot springs, now it’s time to rest your mind for a while. Visit the Bonsai Garden inside the Baegam Forest Healing Center.

Small but great spring! The Bonsai Garden at Baegam Forest Healing Center is recommended for anyone traveling to Onjeong-myeon, Uljin. It is especially perfect for those who want to deeply feel spring.

The flowers in the Bonsai Garden bloom about a month earlier, starting spring. Camellias, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and the splendid yet elegant Japanese spindle trees are already in full bloom, filling the garden with spring.

Walking slowly through the modest yet refreshing waterfall and the grand and mysteriously cultivated masterpiece bonsai trees, you can feel your mind being healed.

The Bonsai Garden inside Baegam Forest Healing Center offers a spring different from any spring you have met before.

Look toward the sea! After enjoying forest bathing in Sinseon Valley and hot spring bathing at Baegam Hot Springs, now enjoy the sea.

Hupo, about 20 minutes from Onjeong-myeon, is perfect for enjoying the pristine East Sea. Walking along the quiet sandy beach and meeting the sea is a given.

If you want to enjoy the sea in a special way, try walking the Deunggisang Skywalk.
