Forest Feels with a Sneaky Workout

#summervacay Took a little escape to Jugeumsan via Pocheon and dang, it was a vibe. The trail starts off mellow, winding through some really pretty forest, super green, shady, and just the right amount of peaceful. You can hear birds, the breeze, and maybe the occasional squirrel doing squirrel stuff. It’s that kind of calming nature that makes you forget your phone exists. As you get higher up, the trail gets a little more real, some stairs, some rocks, a few “why am I doing this?” moments, but nothing too wild. The summit view? Totally worth it. You get this open shot of the surrounding valleys and Pocheon laid out below like a little model city. Not too many people on the trail either, so it felt kinda like your own secret getaway. Bring snacks, take your time, and soak it all in. If you’re looking for a mid-level hike with forest therapy vibes and a solid payoff, Jugeumsan’s got you covered.
