Along the riverbed of Naerincheon Stream in Inje County, swirling currents and pebbles have carved striking circular potholes into the bedrock over countless years. These rare geological formations, part of the Gangwon Peace Region National Geopark, offer a fascinating glimpse into nature's slow but powerful sculpting process amid the clear mountain waters.
강원도 인제군을 흐르는 내린천 하상에는 오랜 세월 소용돌이치는 물살과 자갈이 암반을 깎아 만든 신비로운 원형 구멍, 포트홀이 곳곳에 남아 있습니다. 자연의 힘이 빚어낸 이 독특한 지형은 강원평화지역 국가지질공원의 대표 명소로, 맑은 계곡물과 어우러진 풍경이 인상적입니다.
