Haseol mountain
Haseol mountain
It is called 'Haseolgol' instead of 'Hasilgol.' Haseol Mountain is based on Sobaek Mountain Jukrim and this mountain has a legend and in summer, you may see the snow in this mountain(this is a legend) thus the name of this mountain became Ha(summer)seol(snow).
Daemi Mountain(1,115m), Munsu Mountain(1,161.5m) and Maedumakbong(1,099.5m) are famous for their beautiful sights and height, and relatively, Haseol Mountain cannot be famous because of other beautiful mountains. But natural landscape is good in this mountain.
In Haseol Mountain, you cannot miss Hasilgol. This valley is long like a long thread and the name of the valley became Hasil(thread), but later, this name was changed to 'Haseolgol'. Anciently, this was called 'Seollim' or 'Seolgol', but later, these names are changed to 'Silgol', but old villagers call this valley, 'Seolgol' or 'Seolmigol'. If you hike, you can find Neodeoljidae which has ice in summer(it is like a legend). Surely, we cannot find ice in summer but this valley is so deep so we think that it looks cold which reminds ice. It is really deep and you may find ice. Neodeol's size is 1/3 of whole Haseol Mountain.
