Description
Machine-translatedThis English description was machine-translated and may contain inaccuracies. Refer to the original Korean text for details.
The cave contains both mine shafts and natural caverns. The natural cave has developed as a large plaza-form space with a main axis of approximately 100 meters, featuring large white stalactites, stalagmites, columns, flowstone, and mineral formations. Particularly in the undisclosed sections, the exceptional development of diverse colors, forms, and sizes of mineral formations displays distinctive shapes and colors that distinguish them from limestone caves discovered elsewhere in Korea, making this site of significant academic and natural heritage value.
