Visiting Jangtaesan Natural Recreation Forest(장태산 자연휴양림), Seo-gu in Daejeon (대전 서구)

Jangtaesan Natural Recreation Forest(장태산 자연휴양림) is one of the 12 Attractions of Daejeon with its magnificent landscape, located in Jangan-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon. It is the only Metasequoia forest with its exotic landscape in Korea. Jangtaesan Natural Recreation Forest was the first forest developed and run by a private fund in Korea. However, it was taken over by Daejeon Metropolitan City in February 2002 and remodeled and re-opened in April 2006. Recently, it has become more popular as one of the summer holiday spots for President Moon and the First lady

One of the best resting areas for Daejeon citizens

With its exotic landscape, Jangtaesan Natural Recreation Forest has become a popular resting forest for families and has various attractions with an extending forest passing Yongtaewul reservoir (용태울 저수지) near the entrance. Visitors also can watch the glow of the setting sun from the observatory on the Brother rock(형제바위) on top of the mountain. Further, it goes back to 1973 when MT. Jangtaesan started to have the look of a forest. Chang-bong Im (deceased), who lamented ‘Daejeon has many places for entertainment but there is no real resting place,’ started to collect a private fund and build a place with trees. He planted trees such as tamaracks, pine, paulownia, metasequoia, etc., and these trees have grown into a total of 134,000 over 20 years to form colonies and form the forest seen now. With a field area of 815,855 m2 and capacity for 6,000 visitors, Jangtaesan Natural Recreation Forest opened on Feb. 24th, 2014 as the first private forest in Korea.
