About
Yongchu Falls is one of the scenic attractions in Mureung Valley. Located about 2.5 km west of Samhwasa Temple at the valley entrance, the falls consist of three pot-shaped deep rock pools (upper, middle, and lower) fed by water flowing down from Mt. Cheongok. Below Yongchu Falls, about 70 m away, Ssang Falls (Twin Falls) has a water source so high and beautiful that it looks like it comes from the sky, and its water meets the stream from Bakdal Valley here. Together with Yongchu Falls, it forms the peak of Mureung Valley. Visitors usually choose among seven courses when going to Yongchu Falls, and the 3rd and 4th courses are popular for their suitable walking time and many sights.
