Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Okcheon, where the Geumgang River flows, is famous for freshwater snails (dasulgi). Whenever media introduces Okcheon's representative foods, freshwater snails are always included. Among Okcheon's freshwater snail restaurants, Geumgang Dasulgi stands out with its reputation. Along with the main branch in the town center, a second branch has opened at Samyang Intersection. When heading from Geumsan toward Okcheon, Samyang Intersection appears just before entering Okcheon. Geumgang Dasulgi Branch 2 is located at the corner there. This place's olgaengi soup, generously filled with mallow leaves and chives and even added with handmade dumpling dough, contains more freshwater snails than anywhere else. When you scoop from the bottom with a spoon, it is filled with only freshwater snails. The broth is refreshing yet has a slightly sweet and chewy taste, making it even better.
