   Eongttopokpo Falls

   엉또폭포

   Tucked away in the forest as if playing hide-and-seek, Eongttopokpo Falls reveals its majestic 50-meter-tall appearance only after a heavy rainfall. A broad natural warm-temperate forest surrounds the valley near the waterfall, and the evergreen scenery year-round exudes the unique beauty of a southern realm. To reach the falls, you can walk about 500 meters up along the Akgeuncheon Stream past Wolsan Village in Gangjeong-dong, Seogwipo-si, or travel about 800 meters northwest along the road connecting the mandarin orange groves from the road in front of Gangchanghak Park in the new downtown area. Eongttopokpo Falls is one of the 70 Scenic Sights of Seogwipo.MoreLess
