At 800 years old and reaching 25 m (82 ft), the world's oldest nutmeg tree--“Ancestor tree of the Bija trees”--grows in the green oasis of Bijarim Forest. The evergreen forest contains around 2800 nutmeg trees between 500-800 years old, with their nutmeg known for its beneficial effect on the immune system. Walk around the picturesque pathways and breathe the fresh air, or sit on the park's benches and large rocks, enjoying the vista of rich treetops spreading like spider's webs. Feel the soothing ambiance and energizing power of the beautiful forest.

It is a place where u can feel the forest at a low price. But if u go hiking or hiking often, it's not a special place. I remember the admission fee around 4,000 KRW There's a red clay walk-road, and it's not bad. :)

Occasional trees with changing fall colour make a striking counterpoint against the mostly uniform forest background - i.e. more abundant elsewhere on the island but hopefully as the pics will attest sometimes less is more. Hard to find a time when it's not crowded though. That's the one minus about the place. But it wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon.
