Inje Hwangtae Village (인제 황태마을)

Description

Inje Hwangtae Village, with its excellent winter landscape, is known for its dried hwangtae (pollack), which repeatedly thaws and freezes with the fluctuations in the weather, giving it a delicious, chewy texture. Covered with snow, the area is worth visiting in the winter to enjoy all it has to offer. While walking around the site, visitors will be able to listen to the story of its background, and how myeongtae becomes hwangtae (dried pollack) after passing through the hands of thirty one people.

Nearby is Maebawi Rock, which has a metal path perfect for beginners, and it is also visited by advanced climbers for ice climbing in the winter months.
