Jecheon: what to see and do

Known for

• Yongchu Falls glass deck, a walkway above the waterfall
• Oksunbong Ecological Park, by the cliffs on the lake
• Uirimji, an ancient reservoir with a shady shoreline

What to do

Cross the glass deck at Yongchu Falls, then head out to the lake at Cheongpung for cliff views. Uirimji is a gentle walk near the centre.

Tip: The glass panels turn clear as you step on them, a fun moment but not for anyone afraid of heights.

From Seoul: KTX-Eum or bus, about 2 h
