Jan 7, 2022 | Nature Scene, South Korea - Other Area

Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch is a privately owned ranch that is 195 km in size. There are many ranches in Pyeongchang, but Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch is the only ranch that raises sheep. A 1.2-meter-long circular walkway surrounds the sheep grazing field, so visitors can always view the sheep during their visit. 357

My stay is in Hoenggye, where a bus to the sheep ranch is available.  This is where the bus dropped me off for the ranch.

Walking to the ranch.  I was hoping to see more snow at this time of the year, considering this is the coldest place in South Korea, but no luck.

Inside these buildings are where the sheep are kept during the wintertime.

Out from the sheep-kept buildings, and start to hike around the ranch.

Walk up the hill that has the little wooden house on top.

Looking down at the ranch buildings.

Walk past the wooden house on the top and see the other side.  It seems like there is nothing here, so …

turn back and walk to the other side and look back.

Keep walking this side forward to the highest point of the trail.  No snow on this side.

Go higher and look down again

Came back to Hoenggye town, where I stay.  This is the main town in Daegwallyeong, South Korea.  This is the place where the 2018 Winter Olympics was held.
