Walk, Run and Unwind at Naejangsan... 'Jeongeup Wellness Festa' to Be Held Nov. 21
Two-Day, One-Night Backpacking Trip; 300 Tents to Be Set Up
“Experiential Tourism” Making Use of Natural Scenery and Ecological Resources
An experiential tourism event offering walking, running, yoga, and ecological tours will be held at Naejangsan, where the leaves are turning color in late autumn.
Jeongeup City announced on November 3 that it will host the "2026 Jeongeup Wellness Festa" from November 21 to 22, a two-day event across the Naejangsan Tourist Zone.
The event was planned as tourism content combining hands-on activities and relaxation, making use of Naejangsan's natural scenery and local ecological resources. Rather than focusing solely on viewing the fall foliage, it aims to extend visitors' stays through programs that let them walk, run, and relax in nature.
The highlight is a two-day, one-night backpacking trip offering participants a chance to experience an autumn night at Naejangsan. The program drew so much interest that registration closed early, and around 300 tents are expected to be set up at Mapleland Lawn Plaza during the event.
Visitors can enjoy the scenery of Naejangsan covered in fall colors during the day, followed by the unique experience of staying amid nature at night.
In addition to the backpacking trip, a range of programs will be offered, including forest yoga to relax the body and mind, healing runs to promote health while running in nature, and ecological tours exploring the ecological value of Woryeong Wetland.
Jeongeup City will also offer "Jeongeup Aegidanpung Eco Stay," a tourism package designed to encourage overnight stays, during the festival.
The package connects the recently established Jeongeup Healing Forest with local tourism resources and is designed to let visitors stay in Jeongeup and experience relaxation and healing in nature.
