The Jujeongol Valley Trail, starting from Osaek Mineral Spring (Osaek Yaksu), is one of the most beautiful hidden hiking routes in Seoraksan National Park. This trail follows a clear mountain stream that winds through deep valleys, lush forests, and dramatic rock formations.

From the starting point at Osaek Yaksu, famous for its naturally carbonated mineral water, the path gradually ascends into the valley. Hikers can enjoy the refreshing sound of flowing water and the sight of emerald pools and small waterfalls along the way. The trail is not too steep, making it suitable for beginners and nature lovers who want to enjoy a peaceful forest walk.

In summer, the cool valley breeze and shaded paths offer a perfect escape from the heat.
