The Location of “Slow Stone,” Starting from Hyuyangnim-gil 109

The place searched under the name Cafestone is

Slow Stone

This place is introduced as a cafe that adjoins Biseulsan. Dalseong-gun describes Biseulsan as a mountain at an elevation of 1,084 m and categorizes it as a zone connecting Yugasah Temple, Sojaesa Temple, Daegyeonsa Temple, and Biseulsan Natural Recreation Forest. Therefore, rather than making the cafe the sole destination, it is natural to plan a route that links the recreation forest, temples, and hiking schedule before and after the visit.

Why Large Rocks and Neutral Materials Became the Center of the Space

Slow Stone’s location along the access road to the recreation forest below Biseulsan is closely tied to stone as the space’s core material. According to Dalseong-gun’s introduction, neutral-toned concrete, metal, and unprocessed rock were used in the interior, and the large stones serve not only as decoration but also as table bases and focal points in the space.

This composition creates a contrast between the mountain and recreation forest scenery of the Biseulsan area and the indoor space. Since Biseulsan is presented by Dalseong-gun as a mountain tourism area that includes royal azalea colonies, strange rock formations, traditional temples, and recreation forests, Slow Stone is easier to understand as a place to stop during a hiking or driving itinerary rather than as a city-style cafe.

According to tourism information, Sojaesa Temple is about 1.34 km from Slow Stone, and Biseulsan Natural Recreation Forest is about 1.49 km away. If you are traveling by car, it is good to have drinks or brunch at the cafe and then continue toward the recreation forest; conversely, after a recreation forest itinerary, you should count backward from the 20:30 order cutoff.

It was planned with a total of 48 sites, including 10 camping trailer sites, 8 glamping sites, and 30 auto-camping sites, so if you are combining a camping stay with a cafe visit, you should check each facility’s separate reservation and operating conditions.

• Biseulsan Natural Recreation Forest: About 1.49 km
• Sahyojagul Cave: About 1.80 km
• Biseulsan Forest Auto Camping Site scale: 48 sites

Four Things to Check Before Using a Stroller or Wheelchair

Korea Tourism Organization accessibility travel information shows a disabled restroom, a wheelchair-accessible elevator, a dedicated disabled parking area, and no step at the main entrance. For wheelchair or stroller users, rather than indoor movement itself, it is better to consider the slope of Hyuyangnim-gil and the parking location, and to inquire in advance at 053-614-5498 about the nearest disabled parking area and elevator route.

Foreign-language guidance is listed in Dalseong-gun food information as “no available foreign languages.” It is practical to prepare a translation app for menu, allergy, and seating requests, and since there is information indicating pets are restricted from entry, you should check the official Instagram notice right before visiting if you plan to bring one. Infant facilities are registered as unavailable, but there are also visit records introducing a no-kids zone on the second floor, so the safest approach for seat selection is to ask the staff on site first.

• Disabled restroom: Available
• Wheelchair-accessible elevator: Available
• Dedicated disabled parking area: Available
• Main entrance step: Listed as none
• Foreign-language guidance: No information provided
• Pets: Entry restriction information exists
