Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
Gokseong has three famous valleys: Dorimsa Valley, Cheonggyedong Valley, and Taeansa Valley. Among them, Cheonggyedong Valley is a representative valley on the north side of Mount Dongak. This is also the place where General Cheonggye Yang Daebak, who participated in the Battle of Geumsan as the right-wing commander of General Go Gyeongmyeong during the Imjin War, trained and operated righteous armies. In summer, clear water flows between the valleys, and dense pine forests provide plenty of cool shade, and the rocks and stones laid on the valley floor are smooth and soft, making it good to sit and play. It is a long valley of about 4km, with countless large and small ravines around it, and small waterfalls here and there along the ravines make it a cozy place. It is adjacent to a road, making access easy, has abundant water, and the slope of the walking path up the valley is as gentle as flat ground, making it the best resting place as a family summer resort in summer. Along Cheonggyedong Valley is the National Gokseong Healing Forest. About 10 minutes by car and about 8km from here is Gokseong Station, and near Gokseong Station you can visit the Seomjingang Train Village.
