About
Deokdong Valley flows for 5 km from Mount Baegunsan (1,087 m) and Simjabong Peak (984.8 m) down to Wondeok-dong. Though less known than nearby Yongha Gugok or Songgye Valley, it matches them in its striking rock formations, dense forest, and clean water. Its shallow, clear water suits play, and the shady forest makes it a perfect summer retreat, a favorite hideaway for Jecheon locals. Residents have banned all fishing in the valley, and portable toilets and deck walkways are placed at several spots for visitors' convenience.
