Sambuyeonpokpo Falls [UNESCO Global Geopark] (삼부연폭포 (한탄강 유네스코 세계지질공원)
📍 Sincheorwon-ri, Galmal-eup, Cheorwon-gun, Gangwon-do
Overview
Sambuyeonpokpo Falls, among the nine scenic spots in Cheorwon, is a three-tiered waterfall standing at approximately 20 meters high, situated in the granite area of Myeongseongsan Mountain. This natural wonder was formed by water flowing over an extended period subsequent to the exposure of granite intrusion from the Mesozoic Cretaceous period, estimated to be around 110 million years ago. The name "Sambuyeon" originates from the distinctive three bends in the water stream and the lower part of the waterfall's resemblance to a cauldron.
