2. Must-Visit Tourist Spots Near Yeoncheon Station, Worth a Drive
About 10 km or an 18-minute taxi ride (around KRW 15,000) from Yeoncheon Station is Jaein Falls .

Located in Yeoncheon-eup, Yeoncheon County, Jaein Falls is part of the Hantangang UNESCO Global Geopark. The area, featuring the waterfall, columnar joints, and "Fairy Pools," is a must-visit tourist spot near Yeoncheon Station.

Columnar joints are geological formations created when lava cools and solidifies rapidly, forming hexagonal pillars. The Fairy Pools, located upstream of Jaein Falls, are formed by rapid weathering and erosion, creating mysterious small pools within the basalt columnar joints.

Jaein Falls offers a spectacular sight as water cascades down an 18-meter columnar joint cliff. In winter, the frozen waterfall creates a mystical landscape.

Don't miss the experience of capturing the grandeur and beauty of Jaein Falls from the 80-meter suspension bridge. 😎
