Gosu Cave
고수동굴
A limestone cave formed some 450 million years ago, filled with stalactites and stalagmites. It is a South Korean Natural Monument and Danyang's signature cave.
Gosu Cave lies on the east side of Danyang-eup. It is about 1.7 km long, with an open section of roughly 900 meters, and is designated Natural Monument No. 256 of South Korea. Stalactites, stalagmites, columns and draperies inside take on a rich variety of forms, and features such as the “Virgin Mary Statue” and “Lion Rock” are well known. The route winds up and down iron ladders and walkways, and some sections require stooping or turning sideways, so non-slip shoes are recommended. The temperature inside stays around 15°C all year, making it a popular escape from summer heat. Entry costs about 11,000 won, and it is open roughly from 9:00 to 17:30. Getting there: a taxi from Danyang-eup takes about 5 minutes. Restaurants and a specialty-goods street are next to the car park.
