It is said that the forest trail was first created when nine fir trees were planted in front of Woljeongsa Temple about 1,000 years ago. Fir trees have been commonly planted around temples since ancient times because they grow straight and fast and also play a role in fire prevention. Woljeongsa Temple, located at the end of the forest road, is a historic temple with a 1400-year history. Sansa (Buddhist monastery), with its lush mountain background, has many national treasures, including the octagonal nine-story stone pagoda of Woljeongsa Temple in Pyeongchang.
