연천 가볼만한 곳[Iroun Review = Bear Dad Reviewer] What comes to mind when you think of Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do? Probably the image of a military city close to North Korea, or the Imjin River. How about Yeoncheon, which is perfect for a visit at this time of year? I am sure it will definitely change the image of Yeoncheon that you usually had.
Horogoru / Gyeonggi Yeoncheon Jangnam Wondang 1258
Isn’t the name Horogoru hard to pronounce? That’s because it’s an old place name. There are some old Goguryeo fortresses left, and they hold a sunflower festival around this time of year. It’s a bit disappointing this year.
Dangpo Castle / Gyeonggi Yeoncheon Misan Dongiri
This is also a Goguryeo fortress. There are only a few traces left, and it harmonizes really well with the Imjin River right in front. You can see all the beautiful flowers.
Greeting Man / Gyeonggi Yeoncheon Gunnam Okgye 832
There is a huge sculpture on the top of the mountain. It has a unique image of bowing 15 degrees to the north, and they originally planned to build it in the north. The road to get there is not so good. Daepsari Park / Gyeonggi Yeoncheon Jungmyeon Samgotri 422
Those who served in the military may remember the Daepsari tree used as a broom. It is a little different. It is full of various flowers and plants including Daepsari. There is also a food market in the large parking lot. You will probably lose track of time while taking pictures. You can see the Greeting Man who just visited in the distance on the top of the mountain.
Typhoon Observatory / Gyeonggi Yeoncheon Jungmyeon Hoengsanri
This is the frontline observatory where the typhoon unit is stationed. You can feel the reality of the division of the North and South. Please note that you must have an ID and mobile ID is not allowed. Taking pictures to the north is prohibited.
Yeongang Gallery / Imjingang Peace Wetland / Gyeonggi Yeoncheon Jungmyeon Hoengsanri 224
This is a unique gallery, cafe, and wetland located within the civilian control line. It is a good place to stop by.
Jaein Falls / Gyeonggi Yeoncheon Yeoncheon-eup Gomunri San 21
The last tourist attraction of the day is Jaein Falls. This is where the water from Jijangsan falls, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Hantangang River along with the Pigeon Rock Falls. There is a legend that Jaein, who was good at tightrope walking, had a beautiful wife, and when the local magistrate coveted his wife and killed Jaein, Jaein’s wife bit the magistrate’s nose and committed suicide in the waterfall. It is said that the name Jaein Falls came about after that. Incidentally, this village is Gomun-ri, and there is a story that it was called Komun-ri and then Gomun-ri because she bit his nose.
There is another legend that Jaein, who coveted his friend’s beautiful wife, made a bet that he would cross the waterfall by tightrope walking, and when it seemed that he would succeed in crossing the waterfall, his friend cut the rope and killed Jaein. This is written on the waterfall guide.
There are also many flowers here. Yeoncheon is a good place for a day trip. Be sure to visit. It is at its peak right now.
