Chojeong Mineral Spring (초정약수)
Chojeong Mineral Spring is a curated attraction in Korea — full details, hours, and access info on the official Korea Tourism page.
Why go
Chojeong Mineral Spring is the natural carbonated mineral spring in central Korea — the source water that gave Chojeong Healing Village its identity, and one of the world's three major natural-carbonated mineral springs alongside ones in Germany and the United States. The spring water is naturally fizzy due to its mineral profile, with documented reference in Joseon-era records that include accounts of King Sejong having visited the area for the spring's reputed health benefits. The spring site itself is preserved as a public-access source where visitors can sample the natural fizzy water directly. The surrounding area combines the spring source, drinking-spring fountains, interpretive panels on the spring's mineral profile and historical use, and links to the broader Chojeong Healing Village complex. Best paired with the Chojeong Healing Village for a fuller visit context.
