Osaek Jujeongol Valley

2 hours

It got its name from the fact that bandits made counterfeit coins in this valley. Jujeon in Korean means coin minting and gol means valley. An easy hiking course even for children and seniors. Deeply nestled among the high ridges, you'll be able to explore the valley and get the best view of nature. The valley is filled with wildflowers in spring. In summer, the heat is washed away by the clean and cold water of the valley. In fall, the changing colors of the leaves make a fantastic scenery. Also during this hike, you will stop at Yongso waterfall. A short, wide waterfall surrounded by greenery. Its beauty inspires many to travel here. At the beginning of the valley is the famous five-colored mineral water. The five colors mean five different flavors. Water has a strong iron component and is very carbonated. It is so famous that people from all over the country come to this valley to taste it.
