Overview

Ageobong Peak is situated within Woraksan National Park near Chungjuho Lake. It is so named because the mountain's foothills, as seen from the summit overlooking Chungjuho Lake, resemble a group of crocodiles entering the water ("ageo" translates to "crocodile" in Korean). In 2023, a trail was opened for tourists, offering them the chance to enjoy the breathtaking landscape from an observatory at the peak.
