A secret lake surrounded by mountains with a gentle, easy-to-walk trail. The scenery changes with the seasons—cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, autumn leaves, and winter snow all offer unique charm.
You can ride cute duck boats on the lake, and in winter, the frozen surface transforms into a sledding park. It is a classic healing destination for Koreans.
- Bidulginang Waterfall
A filming location for many K-dramas and movies (such as 'Kingdom,' 'Queen Seondeok,' and 'It's Okay, That's Love')!
Named after the pigeons that once nested in the cliff caves, the emerald waterfall pool combined with the basalt canyon creates a truly mystical atmosphere.
- Pocheon Herb Island
The largest herb-themed park in Korea, surrounded by the scent of 250 types of herbs, with Mediterranean-style architecture that makes for a perfect photo spot. You can experience DIY herb skincare and perfume making, and shop for a variety of fragrant souvenirs.
In autumn, enjoy pink muhly fields and pink sand beaches; in summer, try pink sand sledding; and in winter, the night comes alive with the 'Lighting Fairy Tale Festival' featuring millions of lights. There are surprises in every season.
- Apple/Strawberry Picking Experience (Seasonal)
Pocheon is famous for its apples and strawberries. Pick apples in autumn or strawberries in winter and spring. Walking into the orchard to pick sweet, juicy fruit is an irresistible activity for both adults and children, making it a popular choice for families and friends.

The newest landmark in the Hantangang River area! With a total length of 410 meters, it is the longest single-tower suspension bridge in Korea, featuring a unique Y-shape that connects three trails.
Stroll across the bridge suspended over the canyon for a 360-degree view of the basalt cliffs and the stunning 'Grand Canyon of Korea,' the Hantangang River. It is a core highlight of the UNESCO Global Geopark hiking route.
- Eunpyeong Hanok Village
The largest new Hanok village in Seoul! With Bukhansan Mountain as a natural backdrop, the layered Hanok eaves and mountain ridges create a unique composition. It is quieter and offers a better photo spot than Bukchon Hanok Village.
