Explanation
With the completion of the Hoengseong Dam in 2000, an artificial lake called Hoengseong Lake was created, and a total of 31.5 kilometers of six courses were created around the lake. Hoengseonghosugil Trail is divided into themes, Course 1 Hoengseong Dam Road (Hoengseongdae-Daegwandae-ri 3 km, about 1 hour), Course 2 Neungseon-gil (Daegwandae-ri-Hoengseong Hot Spring 4 km, about 2 hours), Course 3 Healing Road (Hoengseong Hot Spring-Hwajeon-ri 1.5 km, about 1 hour), Course 4 Contemplative Path (Hwajeon-ri - Manghyangui Hill 7 km, about 2 hours 30 minutes), Course 5 Family Road (Manghyang's Garden 9 km, about 3 hours) and Course 6, Hoesanggil (Manghyang's Garden - Hoengseong Dam, 7 km, about 2 hours and 30 minutes). Among them, the 5-section Family Road (9 km) is a great course to enjoy Hoengseong Lake up close fully and is the only course that returns to the starting point. Course A, which starts and returns from the Garden of Paradise, has three observatories with an expansive view of the shadows reflected on the picturesque lake and cute sculptures everywhere. Course B (4.5 km) continues with a trail full of forests. Hoengseong Lake Shelter Observatory has a panoramic view of the lake and a colony of aspen trees. Section 5 of Hoengseonghosu-gil was selected as an “open tourist destination” by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2020, and barrier-free circulation was completed for some sections (parking lot-family rest area).
