About

Nestled between the foothills of Maninsan Mountain and Sikjangsan Mountain in Dong-gu, Daejeon, Sangso-dong Forest Park is a representative healing attraction where you can enjoy recreation and walks in nature. As you enter the entrance, numerous stone towers create an exotic and unique landscape, and a dense metasequoia forest path and tree-lined tunnel unfold neatly. It offers different charms each season, welcoming tourists with wild flowers and autumn leaves in spring and autumn, an outdoor swimming pool in summer, and a fantastic ice park in winter.

Various courses ranging from light walks to outer hiking trails are provided, making it a great place to stroll and clear your mind with family and couples.

As you walk along the forest path, exotic stone towers that look like ruins in Cambodia will catch your eye. An elderly man spent four years carrying stones on a traditional wooden back-frame to build these towers one by one. Why do they stand here? Step into this mysterious forest, created by a deep wish for the happiness of others.

This is a place where walking around and taking things in for yourself is more enjoyable than just following a guide. Enjoy the moment, and let the stories play comfortably like background music.
