The Egg Rock of Mt Kumgang is located in Onjong-ri, Kosong County, Kangwon Province. The rock stands on the top of the Egg Rock Hill at the entrance to Kuryong Pool from the Onjong Bridge in Outer Kumgang.

The rock is a weather-worn one.

It is elliptical and 7 meters high. Its long girth is about 21 meters and short girth 15 meters.

The rock of great bulk attaches its edge to the flat and wide rock and thus gives to spectators an impression that it will tumble down.

But its center of gravity is stable and it has sustained its posture for a long time.

The rock is named Egg Rock as it looks like an egg, and it has been depicted in many poems and folk songs.

The oddly-shaped Egg Rock of Mt Kumgang is peculiar in scenic beauty and is of significance in academic research.
