Korea / Central Region / Nak'waam Rock

The bird's-eye view of the Paengmagang River Valley makes the hike to the oldest Paekche fortress above Nak'waam Rock (0463)835-3006) well worthwhile.

Nak' waam Rock is the site of a tragic legend. Some 3,000 women of the Paekche court leapt to their deaths here of avoid dishonor at the hands of their enemies during the fall of the Paekche Kingdom. The image of the women plummeting down in their colorful dresses gave the place its name, "Rock of Falling Flowers."
