Why go

Wonju Seomgang Birch Forest Trail is a forested walking circuit along the Seomgang River in Wonju, with mature birch trees forming long parallel rows along the trail. Birch forests are relatively rare in Korea and have become photo-iconic destinations in Gangwon-do. The Seomgang trail combines river walking with the distinctive birch landscape, providing a strong scenic anchor for slow-paced visits. For travelers driving Gangwon's mountain corridor and wanting a single forest walk that feels visually different from typical Korean pine forests, this trail is one of the cleaner picks.
