Danyang Ondal Tourist Site
The Ondal Tourist Site in Yeongchun-myeon, Danyang, brings together the natural limestone Ondal Cave, an exhibition on General Ondal and Princess Pyeonggang, a historical drama set and Ondal Fortress. Inside the cave, visitors can see stalactites and stalagmites in air that the operator describes as roughly 16°C year-round. The drama buildings are modern reconstructions, not original Goguryeo ruins. Rising levels of the Namhan River may temporarily restrict cave access; confirm conditions before visiting.
