Janggakpokpo Falls

장각폭포 · Gyeongbuk · Parks & nature

Janggakpokpo Falls cascades from Cheonwangbong Peak, the summit of Songnisan Mountain. This six-meter-tall waterfall, with its abundant flow, creates a magnificent vista framed by uniquely shaped rocky cliffs and ancient pine trees. The waterfall's roar is thunderous and its pool deep, contributing to its grandeur. Above the falls lies Geumnanjeong Pavilion, and below it, Hyangbukjeong Pavilion, together presenting a stunning tableau of mountain, waterfall, and pavilion.
