Forest Feels & Scenic Steals

#summervacay If you're looking for a peaceful walk that’s actually worth your time, check out the Haeinsa Sori Road. It’s this super chill trail that winds through the forest leading toward Haeinsa Temple, and honestly? Total nature therapy. “Sori” means “sound,” and yeah, the name fits. You’ve got the wind in the trees, birds chirping, a little stream running alongside, it’s like walking through a nature ASMR video. The path is well maintained, not too steep, and shaded most of the way, so it’s super doable for all levels. There are spots to stop and rest, plus a few lookouts with really pretty views of the surrounding mountains. It’s especially gorgeous in the early morning or late afternoon when the light hits just right. This isn’t one of those loud, tourist-packed trails, more like a quiet stroll where you can actually hear yourself think. Combine it with a visit to Haeinsa Temple for the full calm-and-collected experience. So worth it.
