Seokpo 석포 is a remote town near Buncheon. It would be only a simple mountain village as others unless it has a zinc refinery. Recently Seokpo attracts tourists' attention because the natural atmosphere around it has been preserved well. You can enjoy wonderful hiking along streams with crystal clear water or mountain trails. The clear waters of Seokpo also offer lenok(열목어, 熱目魚). Lenok, which belongs to the trout family, is a large-sized species that is 70~100 cm(28~39 inches) long among freshwater fishes. The picture above shows the main street in front of Seokpo station.
