Five burial mounds in a pine grove

Address

Oreung, Tap-dong, Gyeongju

Five round mounds lie scattered through a pine grove, said to be the tombs of Silla founder Bak Hyeokgeose and early Bak-clan kings. Unlike Daereungwon there are no lines, and a slow loop on the forest path takes you around them. Benches and picnic spots invite you to sit with a book. Pair it with the neighboring Sungdeokjeon shrine for a half-day.
