Sanmagi Old Trail (산막이옛길)

Overview

Sanmagi Old Trail in Oesa-ri, Chilseong-myeon, within Goesan-gun of Chungcheongbuk-do, stretches over a picturesque 3.93 km. It connects to the serene Sanmagi Village, nestled in the mountains. This trail has been thoughtfully restored, tracing contour of an ancient road, a faint remnant of times gone by. Offering stunning vistas of mountainous terrain, flowing waters, and lush forests, the trail represents one of the most enchanting aspects of Goesan’s landscape. Its true value lies in the unspoiled natural ecosystem preserved around the dam. The old mountain path, gently redeveloped with eco-friendly techniques alongside the Goesan Dam, harmoniously complements the tranquil waters of the dam’s lake, presenting a glimpse of Korea’s natural splendor. A walk along this trail, with the scent of the forest and the soft caress of a river breeze, invites a profound connection with nature in its purest form..
