Museom Single-Log Bridge Festival (무섬외나무다리축제)

Explanation

Museom Village is surrounded by water on three sides as it is located at the place where Naeseongcheon Stream (the upstream of Nakdonggang River) and Seocheon Stream meet. The village is called Sudori, or Museom, meaning an island in an inland area. It is a traditional village which has nine cultural assets, including Haeudang House (Folk Item No. 92).
