About
Makdong Valley flows down from the slopes of Baekseoksan, a mountain known for wild vegetables, and is counted among the scenic valleys feeding the Odaecheon stream, along with Danimgol and Jangjeon valleys. Its water is clear and largely free of pollution, with only a few homes nearby, and bare rock formations and dense forest make it scenic. At the entrance, a three-tiered waterfall about 5 m high can be seen from the road, offering a cooling sight even to passing drivers. The area is known for mountain vegetables such as gondre, gomchwi, and deodeok, as well as medicinal herbs, and attracts villagers and hikers in spring.
