Right as you step inside the entrance,
you are greeted by a dense forest

A perfect forest bath!
The air here is incredibly crisp and clean.
It feels like a cozy, secret forest—
almost like my own private sanctuary.

taking their wedding photos here.

There's also a traditional wooden cart experience!
You can also ride on this horse to look around,
and there are some super cute chairs, too!
The wooden cabin and
the tiny monkey details are so adorable.
There's even a spot shaped like a little squirrel wheel,
and a cozy little forest coffee shop,
along with rabbits and other friendly animals.
I even saw two very affectionate bunnies cuddling!
And look at this cute little pony!
You can also sit back and relax under the shade of the trees.
The rich, earthy scent of damp soil
blends so beautifully with the sound of the wind,
making you feel like you've stepped
straight into another world.
The lush, vibrant green of the Gotjawal forest
is just absolutely wonderful!
If you follow this path
and peek to your left...
Wait,
is that a tiny secret door?
Shall we open it?
Once you open the door,
a railway track unfolds before your eyes!
It is incredibly beautiful and magical.
I can't believe a place like this actually exists!
We got to see so many different plant species.
It was truly a wonderful experience.
From tiny little mushrooms
to a miniature cabin
where fairies might actually live,
this forest is so beautifully decorated
it feels just like a fairytale.
With its dreamy, mystical vibe
and endless picture-perfect spots,
taking a healing stroll here
made Sanyang Keuneonggot Forest
such a memorable, treasure-like place
to visit.
