Gajes Mountain

Gajes Mountain is a 195m-high mountain located in Iwon-myeon, northern Taean-gun. The Gajes Mountain Tree-Lined Road features a spectacular display of cherry blossoms, so much so 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 them while driving. For this reason, it is a suitable 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 the spring weather through a light hike or a refreshing drive, experiencing the beautiful cherry blossom spots of Taean. From the Gajes Mountain parking lot, following the main road leads to 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.
