About
Okgye Valley, at the end of the Taebaeksan range in Dalsan-myeon, is a deep valley formed by the rocky cliffs of Palgaksan and Dongdaesan, both covered in natural forest. The jade-clear, transparent water flows through rock gaps into the Osipcheon River, living up to its name. Where it winds around the oddly shaped rocks, white spray rises, creating a spectacular scene that draws many visitors. With clear water and hiking trails, the valley is popular on weekends and is known as a good place for camping.
