This unique rock, firmly rooted in the gently flowing river, is more than just a natural landscape.

It captures the attention of visitors with its long history and interesting legends.

2 Cauldron lid floating on Namgang River, a strange appearance

Namgang River, which flows powerfully toward the southern coast, passes through Uiryeong-gun.

Jeongam, which stands tall in the middle of it, has a mysterious appearance that resembles the top of a cauldron.

The sedimentary rock rock, which has been eroded and polished by the river over a long period of time, shows the mystery of nature.

In particular, the three foot-shaped shapes hidden under the water stimulate the imagination as if a giant cauldron is dipping its legs in the river, adding to Jeongam’s unique charm.

3 Mysterious energy that calls for a burial, an interesting legend

Jeongam has had a special story handed down since ancient times. There is a legend that a rich man was born within an 8km radius of Sotbawi Rock.

This legend seems to have been created by stimulating people’s imagination with the unique shape of Jeongam and the rich natural environment around it.

Even though it is a story that has been passed down, the desire to pray for wealth while looking at Jeongam has not changed from the past to the present.

4 A place where you can feel the breath of history, Jeongamjin

Jeongam is not just a rock formation, but also has historical significance.

This is Jeongamjin , or ferry site, where General Gwak Jae-u defeated the Japanese during the Imjin War.

If you walk along Jeongamgyo Bridge, a railroad bridge that crosses the Namgang River from the current gate, you will not find any traces of the past, but you can feel the courage of our ancestors who tried to protect the country while looking at the leisurely flowing river.

5 Beautiful night view and convenient accessibility

The road to Jeongam is not difficult. It is located about 10 minutes by car from Gunbuk IC on Namhae Expressway, making it very accessible.

If you climb the iron and sleeper stairs next to the gate, you can see Jeongamjin, which commemorates General Gwak Jae-u’s achievements, at a glance.

In addition, beautiful lighting facilities are installed at Uiryeong Gate, offering a splendid and magnificent night view at night.

Jeongam, where you can reflect on historical significance during the day and enjoy the beautiful night view at night, will give special memories to visitors to Uiryeong.
