Galma Mot (Galmoemot)

This pond is located at the entrance of Namsanbong on the roadside from Seongeup-ri Intersection towards Seongsan. Administratively, it belongs to Sinpung-ri, Seongsan-eup, but it is closer to Seongeup and is owned by Seongeup-ri Village. According to feng shui theory, this pond resembles a thirsty horse drinking water, and it was also used for watering horses and cattle, which is why it came to be called Galma Mot. This naturally formed pond is said to never dry up even in severe droughts. In the center, a small pond is surrounded by a circular stone wall, and there is a mulpangdol (a stone used for drinking water) as evidence of its past use as a drinking water source.

Water is presumed to flow in from the Namsanbong crater area via a water channel, and additionally, an artificially constructed rainwater pipe is installed under the roadside to channel water into the pond. Part of the pond has been filled to road level, about 60㎡, for agricultural water use, and beyond that, farmland is cultivated.
