Pristine region with fresh air and lush nature. Danyang County, located in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea, offers not only beautiful, untouched nature but also thrilling activities like paragliding. Let's introduce this special place that will refresh both your body and mind—Danyang!
Moss Tunne: A Mysterious Green Tunnel Created by Nature
The Moss Tunnel, also called 'Nature's Masterpiece' is a unique spot in Danyang, where a forest tunnel is covered in green moss and dense trees. The moss filling the walls along the road creates a scene that resembles something out of a Studio Ghibli animation, making it a popular photo zone. There's even a romantic legend tied to the tunnel: if you walk through the tunnel with someone you like while it’s green, your love will be fulfilled! Along the way, you'll also find ‘Saehan Bookstore,’ a place that preserves the charm of old Korean bookstores, where you can take a break and enjoy the scent of old books.

Dodamsambong, one of the eight scenic views of Danyang, boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes, with three peaks rising from the Namhangang River. The sight of the peaks perfectly blending with the blue river is like a scene from a painting.
