Hwaam Mineral Spring

In Gurim Bawi Forest, Hwaam-myeon and Jeongseon-Gun, Hwa Am mineral spring water gushes out of the rocks collecting iron, calcium, fluorine and other elements. It is said to be medically effective for stomachaches, eye infections, skin problems and so forth. The water has a refreshing taste, similar to that of lemon-lime soda. The spring was discovered in 1910 by Mr Moon Myoung Mu. Legend has it, that if a person with a "possessed" mind tries to drink the water, they'll see a " Boa Constrictor "
