The Bear Across the River

“The legend behind Gongju's name: a she-bear of Gomanaru on the Geum River lived with a woodcutter and bore his children, but when he crossed the river and left, she threw herself into the water with her cubs — and people built the Ungsindan shrine to soothe her spirit. A one-day course asking about waiting and leaving, at the water's edge of Gomanaru. 9 missions across the Hanok Village, Gongju National Museum, the Tomb of King Muryeong, the Gomanaru pine grove, Gongsanseong Fortress, Geumgang Singwan Park, the Jemincheon alleys, chestnut desserts, and Sanseong Market.”
