Scenic View #5: Garyeong Falls
Garyeong Falls
The Garyeong waterfall hidden towards the southwest at the foot of Mt. Baekam (1,099m) in naturally hidden back lands is also called Gaeryeong falls. The Garyeong waterfall became known recently when some mountain climbers looking to experience nature discovered it along with Mt. Baekam. The way it falls shaking dozens of meters of cliff (50m) is magnificent. There are many different kinds of wild edible greens, medicinal herbs, and wild flowers growing around the area making it a paradise for mountain birds. The waters of Biraewol creek where the clean water that springs from a small mountain spring located at around 950m above sea level (a spring where medicinal water springs from) becomes the source of the 400 ri long Hongcheon River and adds to the coolness of the Garyeong waterfall. The Garyeong waterfall is known its concealment in the forest and is not easily spotted. There isn't a lot of human traces near the waterfall which makes the Garyeong waterfall one of the few waterfalls that still possesses clean water and a natural beauty.
