Naejangsan Maple Tree Tunnel, Tree tunnel at Naejangsan National Park, South Korea
The Naejangsan Maple Tree Tunnel is a natural corridor of trees with dense foliage stretching through the national park. The trees line a walking path and form a leafy canopy that shelters visitors as they pass underneath.
The maple trees became part of the natural landscape when the park was established several decades ago and have drawn visitors ever since. The site developed into a destination where people come to experience seasonal changes in nature.
The maple trees lining the path are woven into local spiritual traditions, drawing visitors who walk through and experience the space. Their presence shapes how people move through and perceive this place.
The best time to visit is from late autumn through early winter when the leaves change color and light filters through the canopy. The paths are well-marked and walkable, though sturdy footwear is wise since the ground can become slippery depending on weather and fallen leaves.
During late autumn, thousands of fallen leaves create a soft red carpet across the entire length of the path. This natural seasonal display transforms the visual experience differently with each visit.
