The Swiss scenes get the headlines, but the drama also used real locations across Korea. Pocheon, Chungju and Jeju call for separate trips.
Tourism sources identify filming at the Pocheon bridge, two Chungju stops, Jeju's Ara-dong forest, Byeolmaro Observatory, Seonnyeo Bawi beach and Wolfgang's entrance. Exact scenes at the observatory and beach remain unverified; the Ewha chicken branch is still a reported stop.
1Byeolmaro Observatory
Filming evidence: Confirmed filming site
Gangwon Tourism identifies this hilltop observatory as a filming site. It is reported as Se-ri's paragliding launch, but the exact episode-1 angle needs further confirmation.
Travel from Seoul toward Pocheon, then check the current local bus connection or use a taxi for the last stretch. Compare any day tour's route and departure details on the booking date.
💡 Pocheon City describes a walking route along the gorge from the 200m bridge. Check weather, access and any event closures before leaving; Bidulginang Falls is another stop in the area.
The riverside park where Jeong-hyeok, Se-ri and his men reunite in South Korea; the drama's bench is also here, according to the Korea Tourism Organization.
💡 This is a forest path, not the observatory launch site. Wear shoes suitable for a 5.5 km trail and check weather and access conditions.
6Seonnyeo Bawi (Fairy Rock) Beach
Filming evidence: Confirmed filming site
Free to visit
A rocky Yeongjong Island beach identified as a filming site by the Incheon Tourism Organization; the exact scene attributed to this shore still needs confirmation.
💡 Best at sunset, and it sits right beside Eulwangni Beach — an easy add-on before a flight out of Incheon. Note the district: Incheon reorganised its wards on 1 July 2026 and Yeongjong Island became Yeongjong-gu, so older guides listing this as Jung-gu are out of date.
7BBQ Olive Chicken (Ewha branch)
Filming evidence: Reported, scene unverified
Still operatingOpens at 16:00 — come at lunchtime and it is shut.
The fried-chicken shop where Jeong-hyeok's North Korean squad discovers South Korean chimaek during the Seoul episodes.
Address
35 Ewhayeodae 5-gil, Jiwell Bldg 1F unit 115, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul
Getting there
Line 2 to Ewha Womans University Station, Exit 2, 5 minutes on foot.
💡 A regular working chicken shop — but note it opens at 16:00 and runs to about 03:00 (02-363-4236), so a daytime location run will find it shut. Come in the evening and order what the squad ate.
8Wolfgang's Steakhouse Cheongdam
Filming evidence: Confirmed filming site
The entrance seen in episode 1 when Se-ri and Cha Sang-woo's date is photographed by paparazzi, according to Gangnam District's tourism guide.
Address
21 Seolleung-ro 152-gil, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Getting there
Suin-Bundang Line to Apgujeong Rodeo Station, Exit 3, 5 minutes on foot.
The North Korean village — Jeong-hyeok’s house and the communal courtyard — was a purpose-built open set in Taean-gun that was demolished after filming. The Switzerland scenes (Sigriswil bridge and Iseltwald lakeside) require a separate trip. At Hantan River Sky Bridge, the characters discuss that earlier Swiss connection; the tourism source does not describe it as a stand-in for a Swiss bridge.
Building a CLOY day
For scenes identified directly by tourism sources, group Jungangtap Park and Tangeumho Rainbow Road in Chungju, leave Pocheon for another day, and treat Ara-dong as part of a Jeju itinerary. Regional tourism sources also confirm filming at Byeolmaro and Seonnyeo Bawi, though their precise scenes need more evidence. Gangnam District identifies Wolfgang’s entrance; the Ewha chicken branch remains reported. Check business details before travelling, and do not compress Yeongwol and Pocheon into one day.
Frequently asked questions
Where was Crash Landing on You filmed?
Korea Tourism Organization guides identify scenes at Hantan River Sky Bridge in Pocheon, Jungangtap Park and Tangeumho Rainbow Road in Chungju, and Ara-dong's forest in Jeju. Regional tourism sources also identify filming at Byeolmaro Observatory, Seonnyeo Bawi beach and the entrance of Wolfgang's Steakhouse. Exact scenes at the observatory and beach still need confirmation; the Ewha chicken branch is reported. The drama also filmed in Switzerland.
Was Crash Landing on You filmed in North Korea?
The Korean locations identified by the Korea Tourism Organization are in South Korea: Pocheon, Chungju and Jeju. The drama's North Korean village was a production set in Taean that is no longer visitable. An Incheon Tourism Organization brochure also identifies Seonnyeo Bawi as a filming site, though it does not establish the exact scene.
Where was the paragliding scene in Crash Landing on You filmed?
Gangwon Tourism confirms filming at Byeolmaro Observatory in Yeongwol, but its exact episode-1 paragliding camera angle still needs a direct source. Korea Tourism Organization separately identifies the forest near Kaldaripokpo Falls on Jeju's Ara-dong trail as the place where Se-ri is caught in a tree after landing. Check observatory programs and prices before visiting.
Can you visit the Switzerland locations from Crash Landing on You?
Yes. Sigriswil and Iseltwald are in Switzerland, so they require a separate trip. The Korea Tourism Organization describes the Hantan River Sky Bridge scene as a conversation in which Se-ri and Jeong-hyeok reveal their earlier Swiss connection; it does not call the bridge a Swiss stand-in.
How do you get to the Crash Landing on You locations from Seoul?
Plan Pocheon and Chungju as different day trips from Seoul. Jeju requires a separate island itinerary. The reported Seoul restaurants can be visited on a city day after checking current business hours; the Yeongwol observatory is a separate long trip.
