Daegeumgul (Transverse Flute Cave) is the youngest Korean show cave, discovered in 2000 and developed to open in 2007. Modern cave development tries to protect the cave as much as possible. As a result this cave is visited on a monorail system with 42 seats, which results in a maximum number of 720 visitors daily. The ride takes 10 minutes and brings visitors to the cave entrance and through a 140m long tunnel into the waterfall chamber. Here the train ride ends and the underground tour starts. It includes a dry passage with a wealth of speleothems including stalactites, stalagmites, cave coral, and cave pearls. The tour ends at an underground lake, 60m long, 30m wide, and 9m deep.
Daegeumgul is named after the Daegeum, a transverse flute which is a traditional Korean instrument. Visitors have to pre-book online, unfortunately the official website is only in Korean. The park also has a visitors center with two exhibitions, called Cave Mystery Hall, Cave Exploration Hall. They are located at the Expo Town.
