Valley & River · Gyeonggi · 벽계천 (Korean name)
About
The valley originates at Samtae Valley on Mount Tongbang (650 m) and flows through Nomun-ri and Suip-ri into the Bukhan River. Deep pools such as Gamaso, Byeongpungso, and Bakjwiso, together with small falls, line the stream and form one of the Nomun Eight Scenic Spots. Its wide, shallow channel with many natural swimming pools makes it a good family summer retreat for children. Following the valley trail leads to Iljuam Rock, a stone pillar, and below it lies the deep Jara Pool.
