About
Yonghyeon Valley flows north from Gayasan, the highest mountain in the northwestern part of South Chungcheong, and is known for its abundant water and dense forest. The valley is about 5 km long, and its scenery, where the valley and mountains blend together, makes it a popular summer retreat for relieving stress. Each summer, many visitors come to enjoy the clean air, clear water and quiet atmosphere. Yonghyeon National Natural Recreation Forest is nearby and is a good place to visit together, and the valley can be reached by turning off Local Route 618 onto the road toward Maae Samjonbul. Nearby sights include Bowonsa Temple, with its flagpole supports and five-story stone pagoda, and the Maae Yeorae Samjonsang (rock-carved Buddha triad).
