General presentation
Chuncheon et Gapyeong
Dam lakes, treed island and mountain gardens make up a green escape east of Seoul.
To understand what Chuncheon and Gapyeong are, you must look to the side of Nami Island, Cheongpyeongsa Temple and Quiet Morning Garden. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the shores and lakes, mountain reliefs, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
