VISIT JEONJU

The advantage of this trekking course is that you can start at Hanok Village. You can start after walking along traditional tile-roofed houses and alleys where you can feel the charm of Jeonju where the past and modern coexist. Let's start the trekking in earnest with the Jeonju Tourist Information Center, which is familiar to travelers, as a starting point.
If you pass through the Hanok Village, cross the crosswalk, and go straight up the path that is made to be easy to walk, you will find a friendly narrow alleyway. As you walk forward along the alley, you will feel that you are gradually entering nature, and you will feel that this is the beginning of trekking. As the noise of the city gradually moves away, the journey is ready to begin in earnest.

If you walk a little longer after passing the entrance road, you will reach the Jaeha Roastery Cafe, where the fragrant coffee scent tickles the tip of your nose. It is a place that boasts a different taste from coffee sold on the market using blended coffee.
This place is a good place to take a break before trekking, and it is a hidden jewel-like cafe where you can taste the fresh roasted coffee yourself. It is a good place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee and prepare your body and mind lightly. Enjoying roastery coffee in the middle of the trek, which can be quite long, revitalizes your journey in nature.
