Introducing Deogyusan National Park
Established in 1975, Deogyusan National Park is based around the mountain range of the same name and is home to over 250 animal species. It's incredibly scenic at any time of year, with dramatic valleys and rock formations, and a number of waterfalls. The most famous of these, the Chilyeon Waterfall, spills down through seven ponds, and is especially beautiful. The park is well equipped for visitors, with accommodation (including camping facilities) and restaurants, and is very popular with hikers and skiers.Advertisement
