Byeolcheon Valley

Byeolcheon Valley, known for its clear streams and groves of large and small pine trees, is a summer destination popular with Haman residents and visitors from outside, lying on the slopes of Yeohangsan, the sacred mountain of Haman-gun. The name comes from the Joseon-era scholar Jeong Han-gang, who called the area a "another world" for its beauty; the valley is deep, with clear water flowing year-round and many pools along its course. The busiest spot, near a Korean War battle monument, has broad flat rocks where children play in water slides, swim, and catch tadpoles and snails, while adults relax on wooden platforms and large rocks. Visitors can also enjoy forest bathing, hiking Yeohangsan, and rural village experiences.
