Gapyeong is lined with famous mountains such as Mt. Hwaak (1468m above sea level), the highest peak in Gyeonggi-do, Mt. The wave of autumn leaves that started from the top of the mountain extends to the head of the national road, amusement park, and deep into the village. This is because the autumn scenery of Gapyeong is even more spectacular. In Gapyeong in October, the autumn leaves are the best, but Buk-myeon has many mountains. Jomurakgol Valley, which flows between Seokryongsan Mountain (1147m) and Hwaaksan Jungbong Peak (1423m), boasts a beautiful appearance with a wide stream of water, rocks covered with green moss, and red maple leaves. It departs from Sampalgyo Yongsumok and can be reached in 2 to 3 hours. If you want to see ‘Myeongji Autumn Leaves’, one of the 8 scenic spots in Gapyeong, the best course is to start from the parking lot in Ikgeun-ri and follow the valley to Myeongji Falls. There is also a way to enjoy the autumn leaves without climbing the mountain. Along National Road No. 75, which runs from the vicinity of Cheongpyeong Dam through Gapyeong-eup to Mt. Yeonsan, Mt. Myeongji, the head of Jomurakgol Valley, and to Domachijae, the border with Hwacheon-gun, Gangwon-do, you can enjoy different charms in each section.
