About
A resort area formed around Samtan-jeon near Samtan Station, a small station on the Chungbuk Line. The name Samtan means "three rapids," referring to the Gwancheongso, Sonamu, and Ddaegibi rapids. Once a remote area used as a refuge during wars, it became a resort after the Chungbuk Line was extended in 1958. Its clear water flowing beneath cliffs makes it a popular summer destination, and a sports park was completed there in 2000.
