Rojok Peak, Living Monument

Travel 2024.1.8.



Rojok Peak in Outer Chilbo of Mt Chilbo is one of the natural monuments in our country.

The peak is beside the road extending from the seat of Pochon-ri in Myongchon County, North Hamgyong Province to the Pakdal Pass.

The cone-shaped peak is surrounded by curious rocks and appeared in the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic age.

It looks like a big rice stack and is 50 meters in height.

Pine and maple trees grow taking roots in its cracks and the Pochon stream flows under it.

The peak, as a rare one which takes queer shape, is of weighty significance in studying the topography of the area of Mt Chilbo and is a precious living monument enhancing the beauty of the mountain.
