Jangsu: what to see and do

Known for

• Nongae Shrine, honouring the Joseon-era heroine Nongae
• Jangsu Nuri Park, a farm and culture park
• Deoksan Valley, with clear pools and rock formations

What to do

Visit Nongae Shrine and the park beside it, then go to Deoksan Valley for a walk beside clear pools. In autumn, look for local apples.

Tip: Jangsu is high and cool, so bring a layer even in summer. The sights are scattered, so a taxi or car helps.

From Seoul: Bus 3 h 30
