Icheon hiking course in the mountains | Travel Course | K-Travel Mate

Dodram Mountain (Jeomyeong Mountain), located near the Icheon rest area on the Jungbu Expressway, is about 349m high and not very tall. However, the unique rock formations formed by the three peaks at the summit create a spectacular view, making it a famous mountain in Icheon popular with many hikers. The main ridge is rocky, and while the entire trail is dirt path allowing for an enjoyable hike, there are wooden decks installed in some sections making the climb easier. Dodram Mountain has a single, simple course: parking lot → Yeongbosa → 1st peak, 2nd peak, 3rd peak → summit → Pig Cave → mineral spring → parking lot, taking about 2 to 3 hours. It offers a light hike of about 2.5km, with only 1.08km distance from the parking lot to the summit, but with continuous slopes and no flat sections. There are several viewpoints along the way, making the ascent take about an hour while enjoying the scenery. The summit is open and offers excellent views. Many hikers also climb Seolbong Mountain to the east together with Dodram Mountain, and after hiking, visitors can relax with a hot spring bath at the nearby Anhung Recreation Area in town.

Icheon Thermeden's German-style hot spring facility, unlike the Japanese style focused simply on bathing, is located on a vast site averaging over 300,000 square meters (90,750 pyeong) surrounded by lush forests in a natural park where you can enjoy forest bathing. It features a large Bade pool suitable for swimming, and in addition to the hot spring area, it offers various sports facilities, an amusement center, a cultural center, and various auxiliary facilities evenly equipped. Traditional hot springs mostly follow the Japanese style of soaking in a tub and exiting, but the German-style European hot springs stimulate various body parts through water jets installed in the Bade pool, providing massage effects while helping skin activation. In the extensive Bade pool with a depth of 120 cm and a diameter of 30 m, you can continuously exercise by walking or swimming in flowing and circulating water. Thermeden aims to realize this German-style hot spring and, on a total site of 429,754 m² (130,000 pyeong), starts with a 16,529 m² (about 5,000 pyeong) hot spring spa, planning to develop into an integrated resort with a hotel condo, arboretum, golf driving range, and horseback riding facilities.

Course 3 runs from the park entrance → Hoam Mineral Spring → Seolbong Mountain Fortress → summit → Hwadujai → Haksujeong, passing cultural heritage sites such as the Seolbong Mountain Fortress from the Silla era, Yeongwolam built during Goryeo, and Seolbong Seowon. It also passes several prominent rock formations like Kalbawi on the way to the summit, Samhyeongjae Rock, Hoam Valley, and Hoam Mineral Spring. This 6.85km course takes about 120 minutes and is considered an easy trail suitable even for hiking beginners and children. Seolbong Mountain is particularly famous for its azalea clusters that bloom lavishly in spring, attracting many tourists. After hiking, visitors can explore museums, art galleries, and the Seolbong Sculpture Park within Seolbong Park or relax with hot springs at the nearby Anhung Recreation Area in the city.

이천 일원이 한국의 전통도예의 중심지가 된 것은 조선 500년 도자기 역사가 이웃 광주를 중심으로 시작된 점과 도자기의 원료와 연료를 쉽게 구할 수 있는 입지 조건 때문이다. 이천도예마을은 옛날 조선백자의 요지로서 이천시에서는 1988년 약 7억 원의 사업비를 투자하여 전시관, 음식점, 주차장 등 편의시설을 조성하였으며, 88올림픽 땐 용인 민속촌을 잇는 1일 관광코스로서 각광을 받았다.
