Jaein Waterfall has long been known as a scenic spot. The waterfall is formed by a small stream flowing down from Jijeongbong Mountain in the north, cascading over a basalt column cliff approximately 18 meters high, creating a truly spectacular sight. The area surrounding Jaein Waterfall is also known as a habitat for the Korean salamander, a natural monument, and the pink trumpet lily, an endangered species. Furthermore, a beautiful love story related to the name of the waterfall has been passed down through generations. At Jaein Waterfall, you can observe various features of basalt, including the characteristic columnar jointing, as well as features like potholes, gas tubes, and coastal caves. The waterfall, approximately 18 meters high, continues to erode the area below, creating a pothole with a depth of up to 5 meters. A pothole is formed when a vortex (a swirling current of water) occurs in a hollow or fractured area of a riverbed, creating a deep hole.
