Goesan County is a county in North Chungcheong Province, South Korea.
As of 2021, Goesan-gun has a population of about 40,000 people.[1] The area has been affected strongly by the graying of the South Korean population, and more than a third of residents are over the age of 65. Schools have closed as urbanization and falling birthrates in Korea have resulted in a declining number of children to attend them. One school, to prevent closure due to low enrollment, offers free housing to families with school-age children.
Sanmagi-yetgil is a 5km (03miles) road that extends from Sao-rang-maeul village (Oe-sa-ri, Chilseong-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungbuk) to Sanmagi village in the mountains. It is a stroll path restored to resemble the traditional mountain road with a picturesque landscape.[2]
