Gosu Cave, Show cave in Danyang, South Korea.
Gosu Cave extends 1,395 meters through limestone formations featuring stalactites, stalagmites, and mineral deposits developed over millions of years in North Chungcheong Province.
The cave was discovered in the early 1970s and revealed archaeological evidence of prehistoric habitation through excavated stone tools found at its entrance.
Local folk tales describe Gosu Cave as a mysterious underground world, with formations like Lion Rock believed to serve as protective guardians of the region.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 15°C year-round, with 940 meters accessible to visitors through guided tours featuring metal railings and safety lighting.
Visitors navigate three-story spiral staircases through narrow passages while climbing steep inclines, creating a physically demanding underground adventure unlike typical open-chamber caves.
