If you track the waterway of the Hantangang River from Taebong Bridge to the Sundam ticket office, you can see and feel the wonderful scenery of the valley in the middle of winter.

Sundam Valley has been neatly maintained in just one year. In addition to the spacious parking lot, the nearly 4km long valley road evokes admiration. Thanks to the mountains that shine in the fall season, you have to navigate the road amidst huge crowds, but the winding path boasts a variety of mountain birds and clear water. And the thrill of walking on a swing bridge attached to a high valley while looking down is amazing. There are rest areas and observatories here and there, so the route is never difficult. If you have a fear of heights, it may be difficult to speed up and the swinging bridge may be a challenge, but don't worry because there is a scenery that can be overcome by walking. Of the 10,000 won admission fee, 5,000 won is a local gift certificate. Instead of using it in a hurry near the ticket booth, I recommend collecting all the local gift certificates included in the entrance fee to various places, such as the flower viewing admission fee, and spending them all at once at a nice restaurant. Sundam Valley is a representative attraction of Cheorwon, so I highly recommend you visit it.

It is famous as the starting point of the Hantangang River Trail and attracts many visitors.There are good parking facilities, you can explore the well-maintained road, and a shuttle bus is in operation, making it very convenient.The entrance fee is expensive, but it is impressive that half of the fee is returned in local currency for local use.

It is the best natural scenery course in Korea. It is so beautiful. The scenery was so good that I wondered if there was a place like this in Korea. I want to go again and I will come again.
