Mountain Chungryeong is a 879-meter-high mountain that stretched from Namyangju City to Gapyeong County.
It offers a fresh breath taking wonderful landscape, with dense forests and beautiful valleys. There is a legend that says Taejo Seong-Gye LEE, the founder of Joseon dynasty, went hunting in the mountain but could not capture or kill a single animal. After performing a ritual on the top of the mountain he caught a wild boar.
The Natural Recreation Forest at Mt. Chungryeong, which can be found in Oebang-Ni, Sudong-Myeon, Namyangju City, opened on July 10, 1995 and is under the direct management by Gyeonggi-Do.
