   Danyang Ondaldonggul Cave

   단양 온달동굴

   Estimated to have formed about 450 million years ago beneath the foot of Seongsan Mountain, where Ondalsanseong Fortress stands, this natural limestone cave features main and side caverns extending 760 meters in length, an entrance height of about 2 meters, and an area of 349,485 square meters. The existence of the cave is recorded in Volume 14 of Sinjeung Donggukyeojiseungram under the historical site records of Yeongchun-hyeon, Chungcheong-do. Academic surveys began in 1966, and it was briefly opened to the public in 1975 before closing due to geographic conditions. Following extensive development, it reopened to the public in 1997. It still preserves its ancient, completely pristine appearance.MoreLess

   Dodamsambong Peaks

   도담삼봉

   Dodamsambong Peaks stand in the middle of the river where the clear, blue waters of the Namhangang River flow gently. Centered around the dignified Janggunbong Peak (Husband Peak), three peaks rise above the water: Cheopbong Peak (Daughter Peak) with its coy charm to the left, and the modest, turned-away Cheobong Peak (Son Peak) to the right. It is said that Jeong Do-jeon, a founding contributor to the Joseon Dynasty, enjoyed spending his youth here to the extent that he took Sambong as his pen name. MoreLess

   Sainam Rock

   사인암

   Due to road conditions, most tourists visiting the Eight Scenic Views of Danyang visit Sainam Rock first. The valley flowing in front of Sainam Rock is called Unseon Gugok, and it is counted as the most outstanding scenic spot among the Eight Views of Danyang. Carved into the cliff face in the handwriting of scholar U Tak is the inscription: "Takrubulgun Hwakhobulbal Doknipbulgu Donsamumin," meaning "What is outstanding cannot be compared to the crowd and cannot be shaken. One has no fear even when alone, and has no worries even when living in seclusion from the world." Accompanied by an ancient pine tree perched on the rock, the scene is reminiscent of Haegeumgang.MoreLess
