The cave with a 4 hundred million year natural mystery Gossi Cave

This cave is named from the hiding place of the Go family during Imjinwaeran. It's located on the riverside of Jinbyeol-ri Hadong-myeon Yeongwol-gun. It was created 4~5 hundred million years ago and is a lime cave which is 3 km long. It is an inclined underwater cave shaped like a wide letter 'W'. Inside the cave, there are stalactites like icicle and stalagmites from the ground.
