Autumn has settled on the tips of the leaves.

The winding mountain path gently follows the lakeside.

As you focus on the sound of your footsteps on the dirt path, your heart gently finds peace.

This is the Hoengseong Lake Trail, an artificial lake created with the completion of the Hoengseong Dam.

The evergreen pine trees are lush all year round, but the breeze clearly signals the season of autumn.

This wide dirt path, rich with the scent of pine, is renowned for barefoot walking.

The gentle slope has a very soft and flat surface.

So, it’s a place where even beginners like me can easily give barefoot walking a try.

The path is 2.7 km long, and one hour is enough to complete the trail.

[Kim Young-hoon/Gangwon-do Province, Wonju City: "After walking, I feel refreshed, and then I also get a good night's sleep."]

The Jeongdong-Simgok Sea Fan Trail in Gangneung city is also perfect for walking right now.

It is the only coastal terrace in Korea, holding the secrets of the East Sea's birth, and is designated as a natural monument.

In particular, as the autumn foliage moves down from the Seoraksan and Odaesan Mountains to lower areas next week, every step taken in Gangwon-do Province will be colored in autumn.
