More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the taxi into a humid, green hush—water drumming somewhere below and the scent of moss and salt in the air. The trail to Cheonjeyeon Falls drops through a short, shaded forest where the sound of three distinct cascades threads down the valley; beyond, a low ridge frames a view toward Hallasan on clear days. The first tier plunges into an emerald pool against columnar-jointed basalt, while a fairy bridge and stone steps lead you downstream to quieter second and third falls.
