Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Gajes Mountain is a 195m-high mountain located in Iwon-myeon, northern Taean-gun. The Gajes Mountain tree-lined road is renowned for its spectacular cherry blossoms, which are so abundant that a cherry blossom festival is held there every year. Most of the hiking trails on Gajes Mountain are forest roads, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenery while driving. For this reason, it is an ideal cherry blossom spot for those who want to see the blossoms but are concerned about large crowds. By timing your visit with the cherry blossom season, you can enjoy a light hike or a refreshing drive to experience the beautiful cherry blossom spots of Taean in spring weather.
If you continue along the main road from the Gajes Mountain parking lot, you will reach Iwon Elementary School. Iwon Elementary School is also famous as a cherry blossom spot in Taean. With cherry trees nearly 100 years old and the colorful charm unique to an elementary school, the scenery feels like something out of a fairy tale.
