Bongnaepokpo Falls [National Geopark] (봉래폭포 (울릉도, 독도 국가지질공원))

Description

Bongnaepokpo Falls is 30-meter high waterfall with three-tiers formed by differential erosion. The lower two tiers were formed by eroded agglomerate rocks and the highest tier is trachyte. Bongnaepokpo Falls is used as the main source of water supply on Ulleungdo Island. Tourists can enjoy a walking path that connects Bongnaepokpo Falls’ management office to the waterfall, a natural wind hole that blows out cool air, and a forest retreat to relieve stress. Bangnaepokpo Falls and the surrounding area are not only perfect as a nature attraction, but also highly valued for the rich forest ecosystem and geological features.
