Obongsan (Boseong)

From Yeongdang to Deokryang-myeon, along National Route 2 from Beolgyo-eup, the road on the left reveals the Boseong reclaimed land plain, and at the end of the plain, two mountains rise majestically: these are known as Obongsan. The locals refer to the mountain on the left as Obongsan (343m) and the one on the right as the smaller Obongsan (284m). The smaller Obongsan, with its five satellite peaks, is notable for the rocky outcrop that juts out to the right of the summit when viewed up close. From the summit of Obongsan, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the vast Boseong reclaimed land plain, the Deokryang Bay, and the Goheung Peninsula. The "Desk Rock," as it's called, is a source of local pride, with residents boasting that many talented individuals have emerged thanks to the inspiration it provides. The "Turtle Rock," visible from the railway line, has a unique shape that varies depending on the viewing angle. The area is also rich in historical and geographical cultural resources, including a rock carving of a Buddha, the former site of a traditional underfloor heating system (ondol), the Gaengung ruins nestled within a cedar forest, natural wind tunnels, stone towers, Haepyeong Lake, Yongsu Waterfall, and Yongchu Waterfall. The ten-mile walking path around Haepyeong Reservoir offers a pleasant stroll through a bamboo forest.
