After the canoeing race, the afternoon will start with a gorgeous easy hike that never fails to leave everyone speechless. We will embark on a 2h (approximately 4km) easy climb up Dereumsan, the way has a slight and smooth incline without rocky terrain. Beginners and experienced hikers are all welcome!! The top of Dereumsan offers a breathtaking view over lake Uiam and the surrounding valley.

Sounds amazing right? One more thing.. FOOD! we plan to visit and take part in the local cuisine at a very famous and delicious Chuncheon Dakgalbi restaurant which has invited us for dinner!
