Seondol Cliff features a large split rock standing over the curving river below. The scene created by these two natural elements appears other-worldly. A rocky outcrop appears to have been cut away from the main cliff with a giant knife. Geologically, it was formed by corrosion of the limestone bedrock.

This site is the tomb of King Danjong (1441-1457), the sixth king of the Joseon dynasty. Unlike typical royal tombs, it is relatively modest and smaller in size. King Danjong’s story is tragic one, as he was dethroned by his uncle, who later ascended to the throne as King Sejo of Joseon. Following his usurpation, King Danjong was exiled to Yeongwol, where he was ultimately executed. The site includes a tomb keeper’s house and the Danjong History Hall. Additionally, a memorial service commemorating King Danjong is reenacted annually in April.
