Peace, Pines & Good Vibes

#summervacay If you ever need to just breathe*and get away from the noise, the Haeinsa Temple Sound Road is it. This trail is honestly one of the most peaceful walks I’ve ever done. It’s lined with tall pine trees, soft dirt paths, and that magical forest silence where you can actually hear the wind and birds. Hence the “sound road,” I guess, and yeah, it totally lives up to the name. The walk leads toward Haeinsa Temple (which is cool on its own), but honestly the journey there is the real gem. No steep climbs, just a smooth, shady stroll with fresh air and calming forest energy. It’s the kind of place that makes you wanna ditch your phone and just exist for a bit. I went in the late morning and it wasn’t crowded at all, just a few hikers and some chill vibes. If you’re anywhere near Hapcheon, this is a must. Forest therapy at its finest.
