Boseong-gun Creates Scenic Forest Trail with Four-Season Flowers at Obongsan Haepyeong Lake

Planting of 35,000 Trees Including 13 Species Such as Sansuyu and Aegidongbaek

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun announced on the 11th that it is actively creating a scenic forest with flowers blooming all year round and a 3.35km trail around Haepyeong Lake in the Obongsan area of Deungnyang-myeon.

Haepyeong Lake at Obongsan is located just below Obongsan, so there are no sources of pollution. This year, a 1km-long deck path and a loess path were completed around the lake, making it ideal for enjoying a peaceful walk while admiring the calm lake.

Since the 22nd of last month, Boseong-gun has deployed about 60 forestry workers to start large-scale forest maintenance on 35,000㎡ of forest around the deck path.

To create a forest where flowers bloom all year round, a total of 35,000 trees of 13 species will be planted, including 11 tree species such as Nammae, which blooms even in winter, ginger trees, heeori, cornelian cherry, hibakkkotnamu, maple trees, camellia trees, and 2 types of vines such as masakjul.

In particular, around the newly expanded 1km dirt path, a group planting of gamguk, which cools the eyes and head and reduces heat in the chest, effective for pneumonia, bronchitis, headaches, shoulder stiffness, and high blood pressure, will be introduced to present a healing walking trail that improves health just by walking.

Kim Cheol-woo, the governor of Boseong-gun, has been visiting the work sites daily to check the progress of projects such as Obongsan, the nation's largest guduljang quarry, and Haepyeong Lake, actively leading the administration by directing on-site operations personally.

Governor Kim said, “Along with promoting the registration of Obongsan guduljang culture as a national cultural heritage, we consider the maintenance of the area around Obongsan an important task.” He added, “The deck path at Haepyeong Lake, completed this year, is receiving positive responses from visitors. We will cultivate more abundant trees so that visitors can encounter a greater variety of species, expand the loess path, and create resting spaces to build a healing walking trail that heals both health and mind.”
