Temple Trails

#summervacay If you're looking for a super chill hike with some peaceful temple energy, Anguksa in Jeonbuk totally delivers. Tucked away in the hills near Gochang, this spot gives you the perfect mix of forest trails, mountain air, and cultural feels. The hike isn’t hardcore, just enough to get your legs moving and your lungs filled with that fresh piney breeze. As you go up, you'll pass quiet groves and hear the occasional woodpecker doing its thing. Then, Anguksa appears like a scene from a historical drama. The temple itself is small but beautiful, surrounded by trees and full of that old-school Korean charm. You might catch a monk walking around or the soft echo of a bell. Bring snacks and chill on one of the benches while soaking in the view, major zen vibes. Honestly, it’s one of those places that just hits different. No crowds, just nature and quiet. A solid reset if you’re burnt out or just need a break from the buzz.
