Eumseong: what to see and do

Known for

• Wonnam Reservoir, a wide lake with a walking path
• Mitasa, a temple dating from the early Goryeo period
• Pumba Recycled Art Village, an arts and crafts site

What to do

Stop at Wonnam Reservoir for a lakeside walk, then visit Mitasa. Eumseong is a short country detour, not a full-day destination.

Tip: It is easiest by car, and works well as a stop on the way between Seoul and Chungju.

From Seoul: Bus about 1 h 30
