Hi, I’m Tabi!

Choose between mountain temples and forests in Inje. Baekdamsa and Wondae-ri Birch Forest are separate outings, rather than stops on one short walk.

This guide covers places within Inje, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Lanterns in the grounds of Baekdamsa, 201801

A first-visit stop

Baekdamsa Temple

百潭寺

This temple in a Seoraksan valley is associated with poet Han Yong-un. The photograph shows lanterns in its grounds in 2018, not a current event. Check access transport, the last return service and open sections.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Wondae-ri Birch Forest

院垈里の白樺の森

The birch forest is on a mountainside, with an uphill approach from the information centre. Prepare suitable equipment and consider your fitness rather than treating it as a city park. Check forest-entry restrictions, weather and same-day access.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Official tourism information introduces buckwheat noodles and dried-pollock dishes in Inje. Ask about buckwheat, wheat, fish and seasonings, and confirm current menus. These are not necessarily temple meals or food sold inside the forest.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Tabi suggests a short look around permitted visitor areas at the first stop, followed by a break. Check transport and access separately for the other destination.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
