A big botanical park sits in the middle of Magok, with a glass greenhouse, a lake and wetlands. Inside, tropical and Mediterranean plants are split into zones, warm enough for short sleeves in midwinter. A rainy day does not wreck the plan since the greenhouse is indoors. The lakeside paths are free, so you can simply walk without a greenhouse ticket.
