Tteunbongsaem
Tteunbong Spring—named after the legend of "the place where the phoenix flew." It's the source of the Geumgang River. From here, it flows for about a thousand li and empties into the West Sea. The round trip takes only an hour, and the incline isn't steep, making it a stroll rather than a hike. The autumn foliage harmonizes beautifully with the path, and it's well-maintained.
It's said to be "where the phoenix flew." It's about a 2km hike from the parking lot. There's not much to see. Construction is in full swing on the way up. There aren't many, perhaps for symbolic purposes.
The path to get here is generally good, except for one confusing sign. Water is faintly gushing from a spring. You have to look closely to see it flowing.
The starting point of Geumgang A beautiful source A stream flowing along Baekdudaegan Ecological parks and landscapes As beautiful as autumn leaves
The signpost for Tteunbongsaem is well-placed. The walking path is also very nice thanks to the weeding.
