Overview
Only recently discovered by the public, Eochi Valley (어치계곡) is the deepest and most picturesque valley of Baegunsan Mountain’s four valleys. There are many waterfalls, large and small, along the 7km valley. The scenic beauty is comparable to that of the valleys in Jirisan Mountain. The sound of the waterfalls and chirping birds are pleasant to the ear. Also, there is Orodae Peak (오로대), where the soothing murmur of cool running water and singing birds welcome visitors throughout the day.
