Sambongyaksu Mineral Water in Gwangwon-ri, Hongcheon

Water absorbed into the soil passes through a layer of debris, dissolving minerals, before rising at the edge of a valley; its formation process is typical, and its high carbonate and iron content have made it a much-loved mineral spring for a long time. It is said to have been discovered in Sillon Valley and to have been called Sillon-yaksu (實論藥水) or Sillun-yaksu; the 'Sambong' in Sambongyaksu refers to three large peaks nearby — Gachilbong, Saeyangbong and Gagabong.
