Yongyeon Cave

Great value for the 7k. Takes a good 30-40 minutes of spelunking. The roof gets very low at some points, but there is a well made metal path and railings throughout the whole cave. You can learn about some cave stuff and Korean history.

It's a great cave to walk through and had a pathway the whole time. Some portions require ducking very low, but it's all fun! It's a quick walk through and worth the 3500krw for the hour it takes to go through

Fun cave to visit. Lots of stairs. You can get to the cave by bus number 10, 11, 12 from the express bus terminal or 100 meter from the train station.

(Translated by Google) Places to visit in Taebaek: I went to 365 Safe Town, the world's first safety experience theme park. I parked in the parking lot below to charge my electric car, but there was no guidance on where to go from here... I looked around the first floor of the building, and it turned out to be an office. I asked the cleaning lady and went up to the ticket booth on the 3rd floor. I'm only dissatisfied with this. I'm satisfied with everything else. I think this part needs improvement. First of all, I've been to a safety experience center in another neighborhood before, and the quality is very high compared to those there. There were a lot of things to experience and it almost felt like an amusement park. A wonderful place where you can experience and learn how to deal with various natural disasters such as forest fires, avalanches, storms and floods, and earthquakes. It almost feels like it will be the best safety education center in Korea. ah! Children shorter than 100cm were not allowed to participate in the experience. Note! (Original) 태백여행 가볼만한 곳 세계최초 안전체험테마파크 365세이프타운에 다녀왔어요. 전기차 충전 때문에 아래주차장에 주차했는데 여기부터 어디로 가야하는지 안내가 없음....건물 1층 두리번두리번, 여긴 사무실이더라구요. 청소하시는 분께 물어서 3층 매표소로 올라감. 이것만 불만. 나머진 다 만족 ㅎ 이부분은 보완이 필요해보이네요. 일단 예전에 다른 동네 도 안전체험관에 가본적이 있는데 거기 비해서 완전 고퀄. 체험꺼리도 많고 거의 놀이동산 느낌 느낄 수 있었어요. 산불, 눈사태, 풍수해, 지진 등 다양한 자연재해를 느껴보고 대처하는 방법을 배울 수 있는 아주 멋진 곳. 거의 우리나라에서 최고의 안전교육센터가 될 것 같은 느낌. 아! 100cm 가 안되는 아이는 체험자체를 못하게 되어 있었어요. 참고요!

(Translated by Google) There is a fee, but it is paid back with a local gift certificate, so it is actually not much. It focuses on the 4D experience center and younger grades like it. The firefighting experience is the most popular. Perhaps because it was a weekday, restaurants and cafes were not open, which was inconvenient. I left early because I was hungry and couldn't even eat a simple meal..... The souvenir shop is nothing special. (Original) 유료지만 지역상품권으로 페이백되어 실제 얼마 안한다. 4D체험관 위주고 저학년들이 좋아한다. 소방체험이 제일 인기. 평일이어 그런지 식당 카페등이 영업을 안해 불편했다. 간단한 요기도 불가 배고파 일찍 나온..... 기념품가게는 특색이없어 비추.
