Sogeumganggyegok Valley (오대산 소금강계곡)

Sogeumganggyegok Valley is located on the east side of Odaesan Mountain. The valley is also referred to as Cheonghak Dongsogeum because the scenery resembles a crane (cheonghak) spreading its wings. The rock formations standing in between the lush valley forests will draw the eyes of any visitor. Several attractions are found along the valley path such as Mureunggyegok Valley, Myeonggyeongdae Post, Guryongpokpo Falls, Gunjapokpo Falls, and more.
