Well-shaded Green Summer, Matnae Lake
Matnae Lake has a walking path with a wooden deck of about 500m along the surrounding path around the reservoir. The mountains and dense trees surrounding the lake are reflected on the surface of the lake, making green waves. At the beginning of summer, the greenness of Matnae Lake dampens the heat.
The lush green shade, the blowing wind, and the shadow of the lake swaying in the wind create picturesque scenery. Even if you don't rush your steps, a lap is done as it is not a long walking course. The sparkling sunlight on the water and the whole green world relaxes the mind. It is a gift from the calm Matnae Lake.

My Little Study in Forest, Haksan Forest Library
On the right side of the Matnae Lake walking path, you can see the stairs to the forest. If you go up a little along the road guided by a wooden sign, you will find a small building like a forest hut. This is Haksan Forest Poetry Library. As its name suggests, it is a poetry library waiting for people who seek comfort in the green forest.
The outside scenery is also wonderful, but the forest view through a large window in the library is as beautiful as a picture in a frame. Various poetry books on each shelf and a cozy interior make the space where you can fully concentrate on poetry in green nature. Another charming point of this library is the literary vending machine. If you choose one of the words on the machine, it prints out a beautiful poetry line. If you are tired of mind and body, stop by Haksan Forest Poetry Library and get some comfort with poetry.
