The central area is the northern Chungcheong province. Southern Chungeong Province is to the west of the lake and at the south is the province of Jeolla. Notes: 1. See Lesson 99 for道 2. Uirim (義林) = Forest of Righteousness. Quite unlike Sherwood forest where "heroes" would gather like Robin Hood and his merry men. 義林湖 can be also be translated as a place name for "Lake of Righteous Forest". I could not find anything on the net on this. However, there is Uirimji (義林池) where it is a historic place and a popular tourist destination. 池 can be translated as a "large pond" or "reservoir".
