Towangseong Falls

Towangseong Falls cascades down in three sections reaching a total height of 320 meters, with the upper section measuring 150 meters, middle 80 meters, and lower 90 meters.

The name originates from Korean philosophy, where 'Towang' refers to earth energy, reflecting the belief in the strong presence within the rock formations at the site.

The waterfall holds designation as a South Korean scenic site, representing natural elements within Seoraksan National Park's ecological and geological formations.

Visitors can access the falls through a three-hour round-trip hike involving over 900 stairs, with an observation post providing photography opportunities.

The water flow continues through two additional waterfalls before joining Ssangcheon stream, creating a connected system of water features in the national park.
