Seogwipo Natural Recreation Forest is a recreation forest that is located at the southernmost point of Korea. The forest has refrained from artificial planting and was designed to resemble the mountains and forests of Jejudo Island. It is located at the elevation of 700m, so the temperature is about 10°C lower than Seogwipo-si. This makes the forest a perfect place to go for a walk and camping with friends and family from spring to fall. After climbing down the mountain, follow the well-paved road to the recration forest to see many exotic plants and trees that can’t be found elsewhere. Furthermore, you can park your car on the curve and admire the beautiful view of Seogwipo New Town and the ocean from above. The recreati forest is very thick with green trees. There is a trail that encircles the forest. If you walk down the trail in bare feet, you will notice a sweet and minty scent that stings your nose. The source of the scent is phytoncide, a substance exerted by plants for sterilization and killing insects. It is very good for one’s health and releases stress when it is inhaled or the skin is exposed to it. This is called a ‘forest stroll.’ Seogwipo Natural Recreation Forest, which is also a natural forest, is home to various kinds of wild animals. Walking down the trail, you might encounter animals such as roe deer and chipmunks, and you might also get an opportunity to hear the white-bellied woodpecker’s song. There are also many species of rare animals living in the forest. Once you reach the observatory, you can see the entire view of Seogwipo New Town and a clear view of the blue Pacific Ocean.
