Overview
Sujupalbong Mountain is located in Hyangsan-ri, Salmi-myeon, Chungju in Chungcheongbuk-do. Though relatively low in elevation, the eight peaks are formed of sharp, rugged rock, giving them a striking and imposing appearance. The name “Sujupalbong,” meaning “eight peaks of suju,” comes from the view across the Dalcheon Stream from Palbong Village in Munju-ri. From that vantage point, the eight peaks appear to rise in a row from the riverbank to the summit. Seen from above, the scenery resembles a traditional East Asian landscape painting. Sheer rock formations such as Songgotbawi Rock, Jungbawi Rock, and Kalbawi Rock stand like blades along vertical cliffs, creating dramatic views.
