It is the first natural recreation forest in Korea.  It was created in 1988 at the foot of Daekwaollyeong (Ridge).  It is made up of a great combination of dense pine forests, clean valleys, and rocks. Some of the pine forests are 50-200 years old in the recreation forest.  They were created by sowing pine seeds between 1922 and 1926 and they are of great academic value. In particular, a forest training camp beyond a pine hill is equipped with classrooms, accomodations, a turf square, and physical training facilities.  It is suitable for training youths. In addition, it offers a range of uncommon things to watch, including a forest experience trail for self-learning, a wildflower garden, thatch-roofed houses, water mills, and charcoal iron pots.
