(Translated by Google) The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for a stroll. You can also take a duck boat and explore the lake. (Original) 평화로운 분위기가 좋고 산책하기 적당함. 오리배도 타고 호수 둘러보기도 가능.
(Translated by Google) I went to a famous tourist attraction in downtown Jecheon. The reservoir was just decorated well. Rather than coming here for the purpose, it would be better to just stop by when you're nearby. I don't think it would matter even if you don't go. (Original) 제천 시내 유명 관광지 근처 갔다 가봤습니다. 그냥 저수지를 잘 꾸며 놓았네요. 여기를 목적으로 오는 것 보다는 근처 갔을때 잠깐 들리는 정도가 좋겠습니다. 굳이 안가봐도 상관 없을 거 같고요.
(Translated by Google) It is considered one of the oldest reservoirs in Korea. Jecheon's old names—Naeto (奈吐), Daeje (大堤), and Naeje (奈堤)—all refer to large dams or embankments, suggesting its history dates back to around the Common Era. The Annals of King Sejong refer to it as Uirimje (義臨堤). Along with Gonggeomji (恭儉池) in Sangju, Susanje (守山堤) in Miryang, and Byeokgolje (碧骨堤) in Gimje, it is considered one of the oldest reservoirs in Korea.

Gonggeomji (恭儉池) in Sangju, Susanje (守山堤) in Miryang, and Byeokgolje (碧骨堤) in Gimje (Original) 우리 나라에서 오랜 역사를 가진 저수지로 손꼽힌다. 제천의 옛 이름인 내토(奈吐)·대제(大堤)·내제(奈堤)가 모두 큰 둑이나 제방을 의미하는 것으로 보아 이 제방의 역사가 서력기원 전후의 시기까지 오르는 것으로 믿어지고 있다. 《세종실록》에는 의림제(義臨堤)라고 표기하였다. 상주의 공검지(恭儉池)나 밀양의 수산제(守山堤), 김제의 벽골제(碧骨堤)우리 나라에서 오랜 역사를 가진 저수지로 손꼽힌다. 제천의 옛 이름인 내토(奈吐)·대제(大堤)·내제(奈堤)가 모두 큰 둑이나 제방을 의미하는 것으로 보아 이 제방의 역사가 서력기원 전후의 시기까지 오르는 것으로 믿어지고 있다. 《세종실록》에는 의림제(義臨堤)라고 표기하였다. 상주의 공검지(恭儉池)나 밀양의 수산제(守山堤), 김제의 벽골제(碧骨堤)
(Translated by Google) The frozen Uirimji Island also looks great. Although it is cold even for very old pine trees, I feel strong spirit. (Original) 얼음이 언 의림지도 멋진 모습입니다. 아주 오래된 소나무들도 추운 날씨지만 기개가 강하게 느껴 집니다.
(Translated by Google) It is a man-made reservoir with a history that was created during the Samhan period. It's not big, so it's good for a light walk, and there are many attractions nearby, such as Yongchu Falls and Suri Park, so it's a great place for an outing. I recommend parking your car in the north parking lot for a while and taking a walk around the reservoir. Estimated travel time is one hour. If you have more time, take a walk along the bridge to Biryongdam Reservoir (Second Uirimji). (Original) 삼한 시대에 만들어진 역사가 있는 인공 저수지입니다. 크지 않아서 가볍게 산책하기에 좋고 주변에 용추폭포와 수리공원 등 많은 볼거리가 있어서 나들이하기에 좋은 곳입니다. 잠시 차는 북쪽 주차장에 세우고 저수지 한바퀴 돌아보는 걸 추천드립니다. 예상 소요 시간은 한시간입니다. 시간에 좀 더 여유가 있다면 다리를 따라서 비룡담 저수지 (제 2 의림지)까지 산책해 보시기 바랍니다.
(Translated by Google) It is a historic place. Now it has been well decorated as a tourist attraction. If you go sightseeing, it's perfect to take a walk around after lunch. (Original) 역사깊은 장소이며 지금은 관광명소로 잘 꾸며 놓았습니다. 관광으로 가셨다면 점심식사후 한바퀴 돌며 산책하기 딱 좋아요.
(Translated by Google) I think it would be a good walking course. If the weather is nice, the scenery is pretty and it's not too big, so it would be a good place for an outing. Ureuk Spring is also next to it, so if you like mineral water, it would be a good idea to try it once. (Original) 괜찮은 산책 코스가 될거 같습니다. 날씨만 좋으면 풍경도 이쁘고 너무 크지도 않아서 좋은 나들이 장소겠네요. 우륵샘도 옆에 있으니 약수를 좋아하시는 분은 한번 드시고 가셔도 괜찮을거 같습니다.
(Translated by Google) It's a reservoir with a long history, and it's a great place for a walk and an outing with children. There's a park, an amusement park, and the Uirim Local History Museum nearby. I heard there's a festival in the winter, so I'd like to visit sometime. (Original) 역사가 깊은 저수지이고 산책하기 좋고 아이들데리고 나들이 하기 좋은 곳입니다 주변에 공원과 놀이동산과 의림지역사박물관이 있어요 겨울에는 축제도 한다는데 한 번와봐야겠어요

Beautiful historical place, easy to park, entry fee is cheap, some signs are even translated in English.
Beautiful historical place right by the river. The entrance fee is affordable (3,000 won pp). Inside the complex, there are several hanok (traditional house) where you can see how Korean people lived before, where they cook, where they sleep. We enjoyed playing traditional Korean games in one of the houses. There was also a place where the community leader would hold meetings and punish those who broke the law. They put signs on how the "hearing" process was done and even placed life-sized statues.
Amazing views of the river! Loved how well the landscape is maintained.
The cherry blossoms and view in the spring was gorgeous.
When I arrived at the entrance, two men were standing. At the entrance, there was a sign called Palyeongru. After entering the entrance, I entered the high street of Dohwa-ri, Jecheon. On the inside, I could play yut. The yut there was bigger than regular yut. And there was also a stone chipping. When I went down the stairs, there was the Jecheon Antiquities Exhibition Center. Inside, it was good to find out the history of Jecheon. There was a lot to see besides this
One of my best place in Korea. Around the place there are many activities you can do. Beautiful views, green, peaceful atmosphere and clean air. Place has a huge parking lot. But just what I didnt like there is a brautiful mountain and they made something ugly facility. It doesnt look good. Anyway I love this place. I will try to go offen.
Big place to walk around and see
The lake here is one of my favorite parts. If you go, please bring comfortable shoes and a fan in summer, is extremely hot in summer

Woraksan NP trails are more challenging than most Korean national parks, but it feels more natural and less-trodden. Some places are steep and precarious. Really worth visiting.
A very steep 4.4km climb (mostly stairs to Yeongbong Peak but great views at the top. We parked at the Deokjusa Temple parking lot, The start of the trail is signposted and a detailed map (in English and Korean). Follow the trail up many, many stairs, 2.4km to Maaebong Peak. Then continue another 2.4km up some very steep stairs , to 1,097m of Yeongbong Peak. This took us about 2.5hours up (with a short lunch break) and about 2 hours to get back down. It is windy at the top. Well signposted the whole way.
Woraksan is a beautiful national park overlooking the reservoir from the Chungju Dam as well as countless beautiful mountains. The hiking here is good, not too difficult but not too easy, and the views are quite nice. Although it is relatively close to Seoul, if you don't have your own personal vehicle it is one of the more difficult national parks to visit, as it sits over 30km from the closest transportation hub, and bus service is sporadic at best. I'd recommend taking a cab from Chungju to the Bodeokam area and starting there, because bus and taxi services are far more accessible on the Deokjusa side of the park. Certainly worth the effort to visit
You are scrambling up a mountain after all so expect a lot of stairs and rails. Good runners or hiking boots recommended. Not for those with fear of heights.
It is a beautiful mountain located in the center of Korea. A lot of hikers climb the mountain, but it's a little hard.
Great hiking with several scenic photo opportunities along the route not just at the top.
So natural and greenish. A peaceful place to visit.
(Translated by Google) The first stage to the peak that is over a thousand meters high is the hell of stairs from Susangyo Bridge to Habong - Jungbong - Yeongbong - Songgye Samgeori - Deokjusa Temple. However, I remember that it was not that difficult because the stairs up and down were not wide. The second stage is the entrance to Sinreuksa Temple at Deoksan Exploration Center. The weather was hot, so I skipped the peak and went straight to Songgye Valley for valley trekking.

You can see idols and singers at the festival. And you can participate in many clubs and there are many departments. In spring, you can see pretty cherry blossoms when you go to school. Also, there is a big library building in the school. And Semyung University came out in the 무빙 of the 8th episode of the drama The restaurant called Yewon, a Korean restaurant outside the east gate, is cheap, the staff is friendly, and the side dishes and rice are infinitely refillable, so students use it a lot.
This place is beautiful with different color trees. You can there for a walk and have some good time.
When I saw it from the outside, the condition of the building was not bad When I went inside, it was fine. But the bathroom was not clean But it was all good except that the bathroom was dirty
One for the best Institution at South Korea with world class educational facilities. It's also best with all coins of sciences and engineering programs. One of Most prestigious university and more then 30+ Countries student at getting education under duel languages. Research & Other supports available under local & intentional supervisor. Student accommodation & student living facilities really appreciated. All the way 5*

have been there .good place for view.
Great landscape from Oksunbong Peak. After getting off the bus at Janghoinaru Ferry Terminal, walked for about half an hour until the starting point. Until the branching point between Oksunbong and Gudambong is really easy. And it's steep downhill afterward. Not recommended to seniors. It's a short route, though. The reservation is necessary in advance. But, the employee let me in.
(Translated by Google) Oksunbong Peak/Gudambong Peak You can walk to both peaks at once. There are not two peaks on the way... the road splits in the middle, so keep that in mind. Hahahaha Of course, if you have a hard time, just go to one place and come back.... Since it is a peak, it is somewhat difficult. I hope you don't take it easy and go. Hahahaha There is a parking lot It is paid. You can search for ‘Oksunbong Gudambong parking lot’. There was no reservation for the latte, but I think there is now. They say you can make on-site or online reservations, but I think you should check that out before you go. The level of difficulty is somewhere between hiking and walking on flat ground. I recommend it as it is a place where you can see the refreshing scenery. (Original) 옥순봉/구담봉 두 봉우리를 한번에 걸어 볼 수 있습니다. 가는 길에 두 봉우리가 있는건 아니고... 가다가 중간쯤에서 길이 나눠지니까 참고 하시구요.ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 물론 힘들면 한 곳만 갔다 오시는걸로.... 봉우리이다 보니까 어느 정도 힘은 듭니다. 쉽게 생각은 하지 말고 가시길 바랍니다.ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 주차장 있고 유료 입니다. '옥순봉 구담봉 주차장' 으로 검색하시면 되구요. 라떼는 예약 같은거 없었는데 지금은 있나 봅니다. 현장예약이나 인터넷 예약도 가능하다고 하는데 그 점은 알아 보고 가셔야 할 것 같습니다. 등산 수준과 평지 산책의 중간쯤 되는 난이도구요. 시원시원한 풍경을 볼 수 있는 곳이라 추천 드립니다.
(Translated by Google) The entrance fee is 3,000 won per person, but 2,000 won will be refunded as a gift certificate that can be used in Jecheon. However, if the first course is Oksunbong, it can be used in Jecheon city, but if the last course is Oksunbong, it can be used at the store right next to the ticket office. ~^^ This is because Oksunbong Peak is located in a fairly remote place. The average age of Gwanwanggaek seems to be in the 60s. You can feel the presence of old ladies. Jecheon is Maybe it's because it's at the beginning of Gangwon-do, but the scenery is quite nice. I recommend it for a fall trip. (Original) 입장료는 1인 3000원이지만 2000원을 제천에서 사용 할 수 있는 상품권으로 환급해줍니다~다만 초반 코스가 옥순봉이면 제천시내에서 사용 할 수 있지만 마지막 코스가 옥순봉이면 매표소 바로 옆 가게에서 사용하게 됩니다~^^옥순봉이 상당히 외진 곳에 위치 하기 때문이죠~괸광객의 평균 연령은 60대 인거 같습니다~할줌마 할저씨 추임새를 느낄수 있습니다~제천은 강원도 초입이기 때문인지 몰라도 경치가 상당히 좋은 곳입니다~가을 여행 추천 드려요
(Translated by Google) I went to Oksunbong Peak among the Oksunbong and Gudambong courses in Wolaksan National Park, and it was a happy hike with my wife and daughter. Oksunbong Peak has a fantastic view from the top. (Original) 월악산국립공원에 속해 있는 옥순봉 구담봉 코스 중 옥순봉을 다녀왔는데 아내와 딸이 함께 한 행복한 등산이었네요. 정상에서의 뷰가 환상적인 옥순봉입니다.
(Translated by Google) It was nice that it was a course that was suitable for beginners and also allowed you to take in the scenery. It's not that high and I think you can do a round trip in about 2 to 2.5 hours! (Original) 초심자도 가능한 코스이면서 풍경까지 챙길수있어 좋았습니다 그리높지도않고 2시간~2시간반 정도면 왕복가능할것같아요!
(Translated by Google) The course is not long and not rough, but the scenery is amazing and it has the taste of hiking. Mountains like this, which go up and down, are not common. (Original) 코스가 길지않고 험하지 않은데 풍경도 끝내주고 등산의 맛도 있어요.오르락 내리락 이런 산도 흔하지 않아요.
