About Taehwasan
Taehwasan stands where Yeongwol meets Danyang. Its slopes are not rugged, so walkers of all ages enjoy it, and its ridge path changes with every season.
The South Han River wraps around it from north to east to south. In the cliffs of Gakdong-ri by the river is Gossi Cave, a natural monument since 1969.
Gukjisan, Eungbongsan and Madaesan stand around it.
