Sibiseonnyeotang Valley (Valley of the Twelve Angels’ Bath) is a beautiful valley filled with water flowing through a cascade of waterfalls and pools. In the past, there were 12 of each, although the size and shape has changed over time. The valley also features many uniquely shaped rocks and a forest comprised of many types of trees, including maple, pine nut, and pine trees. The path passing through the V-shaped valley crosses the stream often, so visiting after heavy rainfall is not recommended.
