Dutayeon is located in the civilian control zone. Prior entry application is possible through the Yanggu Security Tourism Integrated Reservation Site or on-site registration on the day of visit. On the day of the visit, visitors must complete the entry application and pledge form at the Geumgangsan Information Center, wear a GPS device, and depart punctually under guidance from the center. The ecological trail route is from Dutayeon Parking Lot → Ecological Trail → Dutayeon Parking Lot, and visitors must return at the designated time after approximately one hour of sightseeing. Dutayeon is a waterfall and plunge pool formed where the Satacheon, a tributary of the Suipcheon, meanders through mountainous areas, and the meander is cut off (meander cutoff). A plunge pool is a round, deeply carved water basin below a waterfall, formed by scouring actions of falling water and gravel, including abrasion and hydraulic excavation. The name Dutayeon originates from the nearby Dutasa Temple. (Source: Gangwon Peace Area National Geopark)

Gwangchi Natural Recreation Forest is a forest retreat created along the Gwangchi Valley at 800 meters above sea level, boasting beautiful scenery throughout the four seasons with various waterfalls, valleys, and dense primeval forest. It is located near the Gwangchi Tunnel connecting Yanggu, Inje, and Wontong, serving as a major route for those heading to the East Coast. Yanggu-gun opened this recreation forest to attract tourists from the metropolitan area, provide leisure space for local residents, and revitalize the local economy. There are various amenities including a forest cultural recreation center, children's playground, jokgu field, walking trails, and forest adventure facilities, as well as a barrier-free sharing path for the disabled. The natural environment and man-made facilities harmonize well, making it suitable for playing in the valley’s water or enjoying forest bathing while walking. Houses in the forest and a cafe are also available for comfortable rest and the enjoyment of various food and drinks.
