korea Travel ; Gugok Waterfall Valley

Enjoying traditional Korean food and tea

After passing through the ticket office, the first thing that caught my eye was the restaurant and tea house. A traditional tea house was seen on the right and a restaurant selling 'pajeon' and 'makgeolli' on the left. 

I went into the tea house and ordered kiwi juice. The sound of flowing water was heard around the cafe and sparrows were singing. As I sat down at the table and opened my MacBook, the store owner served me kiwi juice. It was the best I've ever drank. 

I recommend you try the kiwi juice from the 'Googoori' Cafe. The menu here includes coffee types, juice and traditional Korea tears. Note that there are 3 cafes and 1 restaurant around the entrance. 

Get into the creek and soak your feet

I walked the road to Gugok Falls, I could see the valley water flowing from the depths of the mountain. Some tourists went into the valley water, took off their shoes, soaked their feet, and sat on the rocks to relax.

I recommend taking off your shoes and soaking your feet if you come here in summer. It will be really cool and you will feel better.

Here you can find the 9 wisdom signs of life

Also, on the way to the Gugok Falls, there are signs with 9 message, each with advice or sayings that will help you in your life. 

I have picture I took, but I won't show it to you. If you come here in a trip to Korea, check it out for yourself. Maybe you will get a turning point and lucky opportunity that will change your life forever.

There are campsite and glamping sites

When I arrived near the waterfall, I saw a campsite. The meaning of the word written in Korean is 'Gugok Falls National Leisure Campsite'. According to the manager, anyone cam camp here by making a reservation online in advance, and tents are also available for rent.

Cliff Falls ; Gugok Falls

I passed the campsite and climbed the steep stairs to meet Gugok Waterfall finally. I felt the wonder of nature. Long drought? The amount of water wasn't much, but the sound of the water falling and hitting the cliff was good.
