Gwanbangjerim Grove photo

Gwanbangjerim is a forest planted to protect the embankment of Damyang Stream, with muku, zelkova, and hackberry trees over 300 years old lining a 1.2km stretch. It began during the Joseon dynasty, when an embankment was built and trees planted to hold back floods.

The shade from this old-growth forest makes it a popular summer retreat, and the riverside path is a favorite date-course pick for walking. Its value has been recognized with designation as a Natural Monument.

Useful tips

  • The broad shade keeps this walking path relatively cool even at midday in the height of summer.
  • With many trees over 300 years old, it's also fun to stroll slowly and read the name tags on them.
  • It's close to Juknokwon and Metasequoia Road, so it's easy to combine into a walking tour of Damyang.
