Overview

1 / 4

Mureung Valley, which spans from Dutasan Mountain and Cheongoksan Mountain, refers to a four-kilometer stretch from Hoamso Pond – where, according to legend, a tiger drowned to death – to Yongchu Falls, located upstream.

The waters of Mureung Valley flow over wide sheets of rock and into the cracks between them, forming a large and particularly nice pond along the path. Starting at Mureung Rock, a wide sheet of single rock on which hundreds can sit, the valley twists and turns around Samhwasa Temple, Haksodae Falls, Okryudong, and Seonnyeotang Ravine, all the way to Ssangpok and Yongchu Falls, providing breathtaking scenery along the way. Also known as Arcadia, scholars and poets frequented the valley in times past, and the 5,000 squar meters of Mureung Rock bears the inscribed names of some of these poets and their work. The valley offers a medley of curious-looking rocks and stones, and other odd scenery that attracts many tourists.
