Danyang
Tucked into the limestone hills of North Chungcheong Province along the Namhan River, Danyang is best known for its network of show caves like Gosu Cave and Cheondong Cave, its "Eight Scenic Views" (Danyang Palgyeong), and the trailheads of Sobaeksan National Park. It's a small, laid-back county town that punches above its weight for outdoor adventure, from cave exploring and river cruises to skywalks and paragliding over the valley.
