Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, meaning 'the Pond of Heaven,' is a 22-meter waterfall surrounded by dense subtropical forest in Seogwipo. The walk to the falls follows a scenic path through a natural bridge, towering ferns, and ancient banyan trees. The pool below the falls is home to a species of eel designated as a Natural Monument.
The name Cheonjiyeon derives from the legend that seven heavenly nymphs bathed in its pool. The rare Mutae eel species found in the pool has been designated Natural Monument No. 27 since 1962. The surrounding forest is protected as a subtropical natural preserve.
