Explanation
Gongjaksan Mountain, spreading out from the peak with an altitude of 887.4 meters, resembles the outstretched wings of a peacock (gongjak in Korean). Looking out from the top of the mountain, the entirety of Hongcheon County can be seen, as well as beautifully shaped cliffs spread throughout.
Sutagyegok Valley is very picturesque with wonderful rock outcrops and surroundings. This 8 kilometer-long valley links Sutasa Temple, which is about 6 kilometers lower than the peak, to Nocheon-ri.
Something for nearly every season with royal azalea flowers in spring, old pine trees and colorful foliage in fall, and snow-covered trees in winter, Gongjaksan Mountain's beauty catches the attention of hikers year-round.
