Namyangju Sareung Royal Tomb [UNESCO World Heritage] (남양주 사릉(정순왕후) [유네스코 세계문화유산])

Sareung Royal Tomb is the tomb of Queen Jeongsun (1440-1521), a consort to King Danjong. She was perhaps the most tragic royal woman of the Joseon dynasty.

In 1453, she was selected to be queen out of many candidates and actually became the queen two years later. However, when King Danjong was forced to abdicate from the throne in 1457 and was exiled to Yeongwol in Gangwon-do, Queen Jeongsun was deprived of her title as well.

After King Danjong died, she built a thatched-roof house outside Seoul’s Dongdaemun Gate and lived there for the rest of her life, continuing to mourn her husband. The tomb’s name, Sareung, came from the fact that she had missed her dead husband so much.

Unlike other royal tombs, Sareung looks very simple. Its size is relatively small.

Gamaksan is one of five great mountains of the Gyeonggi region, and according to legend, its name means a dark blue-colored rocky mountain whose rocks emanated black and blue lights at the same time. The suspension bridge located at the starting point of the Gamaksan Trail connects Seolmari Valley, which had been severed by a road, to make Gamaksan into a single mountain again. It is 150 meters long, which makes it the nation's longest bridge tower-less suspension bridge, and was constructed to form harmony with nature.
Gamaksan boasts small but beautiful valleys around Seolmacheon Stream as well as Ungyepokpo Falls where the waterfalls are nearly vertical so it is used for ice wall training in the wintertime. Gamaksan Stele sits at the top and, just underneath Janggunbong Peak lies Imkkeokjeonggul Cave where Im kkeokjeong is known to have hidden away from the pursuit of the government army. Gamaksan is close to the ceasefire line so, once you climb up to the peak, you will be able to see the Imjingang River and Songaksan Mountain in Gaesong. Fresh scents of pine trees and soil on the trails and mountain ridges attract countless climbers.
