Rich Historical and Natural Environment
The ‘Pum’ campsite is situated at the foot of Chilbongsan, where King Taejo Lee Seong-gye once visited and where he handed over his throne to live with his teacher, Monk Muhak. The Tapdong Valley, which never dries up even in the dry season, is home to diverse wildlife such as willow catkins, loaches, sandpipers, and salamanders that thrive in the first-grade streams. This natural setting provides a living textbook for those interested in ecology and nature.
