Seonjae-gil Trail (woodland Path for Meditation)

Seonjae-gil Trail, a forest trail for meditation in Odaesan Mountain, stretches from the Iljumun Gate of Woljeongsa Temple through Fir Forest and Woljeongsa Temple to Sangwonsa Temple.

The trail was a pilgrimage route for Buddhists to Sangwonsa Temple before the road was built in the late 60s. The road stretches along the forest path and the valley across the bridge and the stepping bridge. The Odaesan valley and lush forest under the blue sky generate picturesque views. Seonjae-gil Trail, where nature and history harmonize with each other, is a fantastic road that is also a good place to learn and experience with children.

Seonjae-gil Trail is famous as a healing forest trail that spans more than 1 km with more than 1,800 fir trees that are over 80 years old and it is considered one of the most beautiful roads in Korea. In June 2020, the Seonjae-gil Meditation Festival was also held. This festival has been held every year with the theme of life, peace and sharing since 2004. If you walk slowly along Seonjae-gil Trail, you will be able to encounter the past cultures through traces of old people, and experience a special healing experience where you will see various animals and plants while passing through a forest tunnel containing Odaecheon Stream.
