Nestled within the mountains of Seoraksan National Park, Gwongeumseong Fortress is a relic from the Goryeo dynasty, perched at an elevation of 2,624 feet (800 meters) above sea level. While only remnants of the natural stone castle remain, the site draws visitors for its breathtaking views. From this vantage point, one can gaze over the UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve, taking in the expansive and lush landscape below.
