Geochang Anti-aging Healing Land, located at the foot of Udusan Mountain (1,046 meters above sea level), is the ideal place for healing and therapy. Visitors can take a walk or join forest-themed experience programs. There is a Y-shaped suspension bridge without pillars, a first in Korea; and a barrier-free boardwalk designed for pedestrian safety and convenience. The forest trails, rich in phytoncide, are good for relieving stress and are the most popular here. There is a native plant garden near Gyeonam Waterfalls, where you can observe rare plants. Geochang Anti-aging Healing Land also has accommodation facilities, such as the Forest Recreation Center and the Forest House. The area is an ideal natural recreational destination, offering picturesque views of Bigyesan Mountain and the beautiful Uisangbong Peak, often referred to as "little Geumgangsan Mountain" due to its unique rock formations.
