Why go
Donghae Mureung Health Forest sits within the Mureung Valley area of Gangwon Province, one of Korea's most celebrated natural corridors. The forest is developed as a dedicated healing and wellness destination, where visitors walk marked trail networks through dense pine and broadleaf woodland. The site draws on the concept of forest bathing — slow, mindful movement through natural surroundings — supported by rest areas and open-air exercise facilities. Its location in the eastern Taebaek foothills means clean mountain air and access to the broader Mureung Valley trail system, which connects to notable rock formations and waterfalls nearby.
