Inje itineraries

Birch forest and Inje town

Leave Seoul early, walk the white birch grove, then spend the afternoon on makguksu, two small museums and a village cafe in town. The loop first-timers do most.

A night by Baekdam Valley

Day one is Yongdae-ri: pollack drying racks, the Baekdamsa valley, a night in a pension by the stream. Day two heads south for potato-dumpling soup and karts at Inje Speedium.

River, ridge and forest

Raft the Naerincheon on day one, climb to the Gombaeryeong plateau at dawn on day two and sleep beside the stream in Bangtaesan forest, then finish with a forest walk and the circuit. A summer loop through Inje's southern valleys.
