The Origin of Dongnae Hot Spring

In the ‘white crane’ legend of Dongnae hot spring, a white crane dipped its ailing legs into the hot spring and then flew away completely cured. An old woman who witnessed this put her own ailing legs into the hot spring water, and was also cured. The wondrous effect of the spring was well known in ancient times, and from the Silla dynasty onward, members of royalty and aristocracy often visited. During the Joseon dynasty, its fame spread even as far away as Japan, so that for many Japanese, it was a lifetime wish to bathe at least once in Dongnae hot spring. Dongnae hot spring is even more of a favorite these days as part of a ‘health course,’ in combination with a hike on neighboring Geumjeong Mountain.
