충북 제천 비룡담저수지는 숲과 저수지, 하얀 성 형태의 구조물이 어우러져 ‘마법의 성’으로 불리는 수변 산책 명소다. 의림지 한방 치유숲길의 물안개길·솔향기길과 이어지고, 의림지·솔밭공원·의림지역사박물관까지 한 번에 묶을 수 있어 제천 당일치기 여행 코스로 활용도가 높다. 입장료 부담 없이 걷기 좋고, 물가 반영과 숲길 풍경을 함께 담을 수 있어 초여름 사진 여행지로도 손색이 없다.

Korea’s outbound travel market is showing a new peak-season signal. July fuel surcharges are falling, bookings are rising, and summer demand is moving again. But this is not a simple recovery story.
