Summer Hwadam Forest, a day immersed in green🌿 A forest path perfect for a walk with family or a lover

Hwadam Forest, a healing spot near Seoul!
Thanks to the dense greenery and cool air you can't find in the city,
even in the middle of summer, it was a pleasant day walking. 🌳



🚌 Getting There Tips
Shuttle buses are available from Gonjiam Station (check the schedule!)

Personal vehicles: Parking lot → Shuttle bus → Entrance.



🌲 Recommended Course – Summer-only ‘Hydrangea Road + Pond Road + Healing Trail’
Recommended course: After entering, take the gondola → slowly descend from the summit.
A green tunnel-like hydrangea road, carp around the pond, and a forest bathing area filled with phytoncides!

A walk that's easy for children (some sections are stroller-friendly)



📸 Photo Tips
✔️ This is a must-visit during hydrangeas' peak bloom! ✔️ Gondola view / Pond reflection shot / Deck path photogenic
✔️ Portrait-focused lenses are recommended over wide-angle lenses (the green background does the rest)



🍧 Snacks & Cafe
The "Hwadam Forest Cafe" inside the forest offers popular red bean shaved ice and green tangerine ade. The buckwheat pancake and acorn jelly set next to the souvenir shop near the entrance is also a popular menu item!



📌 Operation Information
Reservations are required during peak summer season (advance reservations required on the official website)
Arriving before 10 AM will reduce crowds and allow for more secluded photos. UV protection is recommended over umbrellas!! Don't forget a hat, sunscreen, and water.
+Hand fan is a must💕 It's so hot... be careful not to get heatstroke!!



💬
A summer forest path that's so relaxing just by walking.
It was a day filled with the green energy that nature gives us. The hotter the weather, the more I crave the shade and relaxation. I highly recommend Hwadam Forest in the summer!
It's beautiful even in summer, not just in fall 😍✨💕 #HwadamForest #SeoulNearby
