A panoramic view at Daraeddeul village. The Joyanggang River flows in front of the village by a dramatic cliff.

The road from Jeongseon Station continues along the Joyanggang River. Standing on the Joyanggang River Outlook, built for the Olympic Aribau-gil, Daraeddeul village is laid out across the river.

Daraeddeul is also called the Korean Peninsula Topography Village, because the river’s sharp turn makes the course resemble an outline of the peninsula. But the outline only become visible from atop Mount Sangjeongbawisan (1,006 meters) opposite Daraeddeul. The track leading to Mount Sangjeongbawisan starts near the Mungokbon-dong Bus Stop.

Mojeongtab Tower Trail In the information provided by the Gangneung City Government, this area is simply called a valley where an old woman piled up stone towers by herself. It is not incorrect, but it isn’t enough to explain the grandiose scene one finds here. There are just too many stone towers! Throughout the valley, which is over 500 meters long, stand thousands of them, as tall as an adult. A signpost says there are 3,000, but there seem to be many more.

“A woman from Gangneung named Cha Sun-ok came into the valley of Mount Nochusan and started building stone towers. Her husband and children died from diseases. One night Cha dreamt that if she built 3,000 stone towers, all her misfortunes would go away and her family would be at peace. After her dream, she went looking for a place to build her towers. She came here in Mount Nochusan, built a cottage in the valley and labored at the stone towers for 26 years until she passed away in 2011. She was 66 at the time. From the age of 40 she came into the mountain and lived alone. The number of towers must at least be over 4,000.”

Immediately after leaving the “pine mushroom street,” hikers will see a wide, flat rock on marugeum, a term that indicates mountain ranges.

This is Suljan Rock, where suljan means a glass used for alcoholic drinks.

There are three holes in the stone that give the rock its name. When you stand on Suljan Rock, you can see the Seonjaryeong, the northern part of Baekdudaegan. The peak visible on the left is Gonshinbong Peak (1,131m) and the peak on a ridge of wind power generators is Maebong Peak (1,173m). Behind Maebong Peak is Daegwallyeong Samyang Ranch.

North from Maebong Peak is Mount Odaesan (1,565m).

Seongyojang House The name Ojukheon originates from the black bamboo trees that grow in the area.

Ojukheon Ojukheon is the home of Shin Saimdang (1504-51). To be precise, it is the name of the room in the house where she gave birth to her son, the scholar Yi Yi (1536-84). She is said to have given birth after dreaming of a black dragon jumping into her arms, so the room is also called “Mongnyongsil.” It is designated as Korea’s Treasure No. 165, and is one of the oldest existing houses in Korea. The name Ojukheon comes from the abundant black bamboo trees in the area. With Ojukheon in the center, trees such as apricot, grape myrtle, pine and black bamboo (ojuk) surround the house as if guarding the historical site.

While Shin Saimdang was a maternal figure of dynastic Korea and is an icon of women, she was also an artist. Her son Yi was one of the bestHwallejeong Pavilion at the propitiously located Seongyojang House, from above.

Seongyojang House The name Ojukheon originates from the black bamboo trees that grow in the area.

Ojukheon Ojukheon is the home of Shin Saimdang (1504-51). To be precise, it is the name of the room in the house where she gave birth to her son, the scholar Yi Yi (1536-84). She is said to have given birth after dreaming of a black dragon jumping into her arms, so the room is also called “Mongnyongsil.” It is designated as Korea’s Treasure No. 165, and is one of the oldest existing houses in Korea. The name Ojukheon comes from the abundant black bamboo trees in the area. With Ojukheon in the center, trees such as apricot, grape myrtle, pine and black bamboo (ojuk) surround the house as if guarding the historical site.

While Shin Saimdang was a maternal figure of dynastic Korea and is an icon of women, she was also an artist. Her son Yi was one of the bestHwallejeong Pavilion at the propitiously located Seongyojang House, from above.
