Seokmun (Stone Gate)

석문

A natural limestone arch on the mountainside above the Three Peaks of Dodam, framing views of the South Han River and farmland on the far bank. One of the Eight Scenes of Danyang.

Seokmun is a huge natural arch, several dozen meters high, left behind after a limestone cave collapsed. It sits on the mountainside upstream from the car park at the Three Peaks of Dodam and is the seventh of the Eight Scenes of Danyang. A stone-step trail from beside the Three Peaks of Dodam reaches it in about 15 to 20 minutes. Through the arch you can see the South Han River winding past and the villages and fields on the opposite bank, framed like a painting. It is a classic photo spot in Danyang. Beside the arch is a small pool called the Fairy's Field, said to have been left by a fairy. Entry is free. The steps are steep, so take care after rain.
