동해무릉건강숲 · Gangwon · Parks & nature

Situated at the entrance of Mureung Valley, this environmental disease prevention and management center is directly run by Donghae city. Environmental diseases are those that develop due to environmental factors, such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. This center, spanning approx. 24,000 square meters, consists of an eco-friendly healing lodging, a themed experience center, a health consultation room, a thermal therapy room, and a natural health food restaurant. The accommodation facility, built with eco-friendly materials such as red clay and Hinoki cypress, offers healthy accommodations as well.The themed experience center is a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna) created using natural materials, such as stones, soil, and salt. The White Sericite Room emits far-infrared rays and natural anions; the Red Clay Room is good for detoxification; and the Salt Cave's nano salt particles help cleanse one's respiratory system. These sauna rooms aid in improving environmental disease symptoms. The thermal therapy room features heated capsule-like beds that promote blood circulation. In addition, a resident nurse provides free health consultations based on visitors' basic examination results. You can participate in various programs without staying overnight, such as handcrafting using eco-friendly materials, themed experiences, health consultations, and a natural health food experience. In summer, don't forget to visit Oseonnyeotang, a nature-friendly bath filled with water from Mureung Valley.
