This forest trail stretches about 1 kilometer from Iljumun Gate of Woljeongsa Temple in Odaesan Mountain to Geumgang Bridge. The trail has 1,700 fir trees stretching high into the sky and is a tourist attraction representing Woljeongsa Temple, a temple with a thousand years of history. Many travelers visit Woljeongsa Temple to walk this forest path. The forest road, where the scent of phytoncide clears the body and mind, is always beautiful, but in winter, white snow falls on the green fir trees, making it even more wonderful. This trail is also well-known as a filming location for the drama "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2017)." The scene where the goblin (played by Gong Yoo) and the bride (played by Kim Go-eun) confirm their love in a snowy fir tree forest was filmed here. It is said that the forest trail was first created when nine fir trees were planted in front of Woljeongsa Temple about 1,000 years ago. Fir trees have been commonly planted around temples since ancient times because they grow straight and fast and also play a role in fire prevention. Woljeongsa Temple, located at the end of the forest road, is a historic temple with a 1400-year history. Sansa (Buddhist monastery), with its lush mountain background, has many national treasures, including the octagonal nine-story stone pagoda of Woljeongsa Temple in Pyeongchang.
