[Gyeongsangbuk-do] Gunwi-gun Palgongsan National Park (팔공산국립공원(군위군))
Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Gunwi-gun Palgongsan National Park (팔공산국립공원(군위군))’.
💡 Overview
Palgongsan Mountain is located south of the Taebaek Mountain Range where the Nakdonggang and Geumhogang Rivers meet. The mountain stands high and stretches out like a folding screen. Near the top of the mountain, the granite protrudes in an odd shape creating a tall, grand geographical feature of the mountain. Furthermore, every valley is decorated with an exquisite rock face and lush forest adding to the mountain’s reputation. Palgongsan Mountain was designated as a National Park in December 2023. The mountain has many ancient temples and historical sites such as the Gatbawi Stone Buddha, Wonhyosa Temple, Cheonseongsa Temple and Bulgulsa Temple.
