Description
Nodongdonggul Cave is near Nodongcheon Stream, a branch of Namhangang River flowing to the northern Chungjuho Lake. This cave has length of 800m and consists of limestone. The inside of the cave slopes at a high angle. In the cave are many kinds of cave formations such as stalactites hanging down from the roof of a cave, stalagmites coming up from the floor of the cave, and stone pillars formed by the connection of both formations. At the mid-slope of the cave are broken pieces of earthenware, which are traces of inhabitants escaping from the Japanese army during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. At the end of the cave is a big waterpool made by the gathering of water permeating underground at the entrance of the cave. Nodongdonggul Cave is designated and conserved as a natural monument because it is a rare, large cave in Korea.
