Overview

1 / 4

Gamaksan Mountain gets its name from the slivers of bluish tinged rock (‘Gamak’ meaning ‘dark blue rock’) on the mountain. Located between Seoul and Gaeseong, the mountain offers a view of Songaksan Mountain in Gaeseong and Bukhansan Mountain in Seoul. At the western foothills are the old Beomryunsa Temple and, 30 meters away, Ungyepokpo Waterfall. Below Janggunbong Peak you’ll find Imkkeokjeonggul Cave where Imkkeokjeong, the legendary Korean Robin Hood, hid from government troops. Nearby is a monument for soldiers from England who were lost in the Korean War.
