Suanbo Hot Springs Foot Bath Path (수안보온천 족욕길)
35 Jujeongsan-ro, Suanbo-myeon, Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do
Overview
Suanbo Hot Springs is believed to have flowed naturally since ancient times. Historical records show that it existed as early as the ninth year of King Hyeonjong of Goryeo, and the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty note that King Taejo visited the springs to treat a severe skin condition, highlighting its long history. Today, it is the only hot spring in Korea managed under a centralized system by the city of Chungju, with a strong focus on preserving its natural resources. The spring water, drawn from about 250 meters underground, is mildly alkaline and contains beneficial minerals such as calcium, sodium, fluoride, magnesium, and lithium. Foot baths using Suanbo’s mineral-rich water are known to promote circulation and metabolism, relax tense muscles, relieve fatigue and stress, and support restful sleep.
