Pocheon local’s pick for real summer vacation course | Travel Course | Staypick

Pocheon Art Valley is a complex cultural and artistic space where you can enjoy art within nature, featuring a picturesque emerald lake and towering granite cliffs resembling folding screens. Until the 1990s, it was an abandoned quarry that no one visited and left as an eyesore. However, it has since been completely transformed into a healing destination combining nature and art, attracting 400,000 visitors annually. Since 2014, an astronomy science center has also opened, allowing visitors to stargaze, making it popular as an educational spot for children and a dating course for couples.

Located at the foot of Baegunsan Mountain, Baegun Valley is a gorge formed by clear and clean water flowing westward from the summits of Gwangdeoksan and Baegunsan. The valley stretches approximately 10 km, where ponds and bizarrely shaped rocks harmonize to create stunning beauty. Baegun Valley’s name means "a place where an immortal sits among clouds," reflecting its ice-cold, clear water even in summer. At the valley’s entrance lies Heungnyongsa, an ancient temple over a thousand years old, and upstream is the 30 m tall Geumgwang Waterfall. The rocks mainly observed in Baegun Valley are Mesozoic Jurassic granite, exhibiting various geological structures including faults caused by tectonic activity. Granite dikes intruding the valley show fault traces such as displacement. Additionally, vertical and horizontal joint sets are well developed upstream. Besides geological features, the valley’s stream erosion has formed small pools and waterfalls, making it a site of outstanding scenic value. (Source: Hantangang Geopark)

Bidulginang Waterfall is a basalt erosion gorge located in Daheisan-ri, Yeongbuk-myeon, at the end of Bulmuchon, which originates from Bulmusan. The name Bidulginang comes from the surrounding terrain shaped like a pocket resembling a pigeon's nest. Another explanation is that rock pigeons have long inhabited caves around the waterfall. During the Korean War (6·25), the waterfall was hidden by dense vegetation and used as an evacuation shelter for villagers and a rest area for soldiers. Currently, it has been designated as a natural monument since 2012 and is protected, attracting many tourists with its beauty and scenery. Geologically and topographically, Bidulginang Waterfall features fluvial erosion landforms such as dissolution caves, gorges, plunge pools, and waterfalls, and also displays various geological structures including columnar joints and platy joints. It also offers an academic value through a visible view of the lava units flowing from Hantangang.
