Booking

Klook and GetYourGuide sell day tours from Seoul that stop here along with the Hantan River Sky Bridge.

Bidulginang means 'pigeon pouch': the rock around the fall curves into a hollow like a pigeon's nest, though another story credits the rock pigeons that once lived in its caves. The fall drops at the lower end of the Bulmucheon stream into a gorge cut through basalt, where you can pick out river-carved caves, columnar and sheet jointing, and the separate layers of lava that flowed down the Hantan River. Villagers sheltered here during the Korean War, and the site has been a protected natural monument since 2012. The Hantan River Sky Bridge is under a kilometer away.

Tips

  • See the Hantan River Sky Bridge on the same visit; it's under a kilometer away, and both day tours include it.
  • Parts of the site can close for works (one partial closure ran in late September 2026), so check the notices on hantangeopark.kr before a special trip.
