The Red Clay Road of Gyejoksan Mountain makes you want to step on it.
These days, when the body and mind are tired due to coronavirus, it is a path that makes the body and the mind healthy.
Meeting people and having a trip or meeting are all difficult these days due to the coronavirus.
I'm spending a lot of time at home, but I'm frustrated and depressed, so I walked on the red clay road of Gyejoksan Mountain and went to the mountain fortress.
Many people visited Gyejoksan Mountain because it's the weekend. You have to keep the social distance.
It is said to be the longest red clay road built in forest road, certified by the KOREA RECORD INSTITUTE."
I feel I'm getting healthier just thinking about walking on the red clay road because I think I'm not feeling well due to Corona.
It's a red clay road, and the trees standing on the dense forest road make shade.
Seeing the footprints on the red clay made by countless people coming and going makes me want to make footprints on them.
This is Jejoksan Red Clay Road, which was selected four times in a row for 100 Korean tours.
There are trees, red clay roads, and wooden deck roads that create dense forests, so you can walk along the red clay road and walk along the wooden deck roads.
If you walk along the road, you will find a bench, stone chair, pavilion, and wooden deck.
It is easy to rest because there are stones or wooden decks under the tree.
It feels like nature hugs the city's tired worries.
It's a pavilion in the forest.
It is healing because it is surrounded by a forest.
The trees stand thickly, and it is a good pavilion for people to rest in the pavilion and put down their tired lives in the city for a while.
If you follow the red clay road, you will see the sign of Gyejoksanseong Fortress.
This is Gyejoksanseong Fortress, which appears when you walk along stairs and mountain roads.
It's West Gate. It's a little north of the west wall.
The west wall is on the outer slope of the highest ridge in Gyejoksanseong Fortress.
Amazingly, you can see the historical sites built during the Three Kingdoms Period.
Gyejoksanseong Fortress is Historic Site No. 355.
Gyejoksanseong Fortress is introduced as a fortress that played a central role during the Three Kingdoms Period when many fortresses were created while Daejeon served as a gateway to the invasion of Silla.
Amazingly, you can see the historical sites built during the Three Kingdoms Period.
You can see how carefully these stone steps are stacked.
And it's a stone staircase that teaches you how big nature is.
If you look down from Gyejoksanseong Fortress, you can see Daejeon and Daecheongho Lake.
If you walk along the path leading to the forest and stone roads, you can meet another destination.
I hope you can walk on the red clay road of Gyejoksan Mountain during the difficult times due to coronavirus, look around the mountain fortress of historic sites, and get the strength to endure the difficult times.
