About Wibong Falls (wibong pokpo [위봉폭포])
Wibong Falls (Wibong Pokpo [위봉폭포]) was a 60m cumulative height waterfall dropping in multiple tiers.
Nearby this waterfall is the Wibongsa Temple, which is one of the major temples said to be built by the Monk Seoam in the year 604, and some of the buildings that have survived past calamities date back to the Joseon Dynasty.

So it’s possible to visit both the waterfall and temple (though we drove to each site, which were about 5 minutes apart from each other).
I was able to experience the Wibongpokpo Waterfall in a couple of different ways, and both of them were pretty easy (as the difficulty rating reflects).
First, we were able to witness this waterfall from a roadside lookout (see directions below).
At this lookout, we were able to appreciate the waterfall’s thin, multi-tiered drop amid the context of the gorge that it dropped into.

From there, I then walked along the road for about 70m to a series of steps descending into the gorge.
Along these steps were interpretive signs and inscriptions in Korean while also presenting some gorge views.
At the bottom of the steps was a small shelter as well as a continuation of the trail going both downstream and upstream.
I only went upstream from here as it was a short jaunt to the bottom of the main drops of the Wibong Falls, which looked way shorter than it did from the lookout due to the obstructing cliffs and foliage.

According to my GPS logs, this walk was a mere 200m in each direction, and it only took me about 35 leisurely minutes to do both the lookout and the steps down as well as coming back.
