Rajetongmun is a stone tunnel located between Deogyusan and Seokmosan in Muju, and it is the first scenic spot among the 33 views of Gucheondong in Muju. It is believed to have been the border between the Silla and Baekje kingdoms during the Three Kingdoms period. Before the tunnel was formed, Seokmosan was a mountain pass used by people traveling between Mupung-myeon and Seolcheon-myeon. East and west of this tunnel differ in language and customs: the east side (Mupung-myeon), an old Silla region, speaks the Gyeongsang dialect and follows Gyeongsang customs, while the west side (Seolcheon-myeon), an old Baekje region, speaks the Jeolla dialect. The tunnel also holds a painful history as it was drilled during the Japanese colonial era for gold mining development. Since 2019, it has been protected as a geological attraction certified by the Ministry of Environment as part of a national geopark.

덕유산 자락에 위치한 호롱불 마을의 남대천에는 쉬리 등 다양한 민물고기와 수달이 서식할 만큼 물이 깨끗하여 여름이면 찾는 이가 많다. 호롱불 마을에 가면 굵은 대나무를 엮어 만든 뗏목을 꼭 한번 타보길 권한다. 물이 맑아 물고기가 잘 보이고 대나무 뗏목 사이로 발을 적시는 물이 곧 가라앉을 듯한 착각을 느끼게 한다.

Muju Meoru Wine Cave was originally used as a tunnel for excavation work during the construction of the Muju Pumped Storage Power Plant (April 1988 to May 1995). To give hope and pride to meoru grape farmers, Muju-gun leased and remodeled it in 2007, leading to its current state. The tunnel, which blocks light and maintains a consistent temperature, has become an ideal wine aging and storage cellar. Wine made from Muju-gun’s mountain meoru is aged, stored, and sold here, offering visitors a special experience. The wine foot bath, which relaxes body and mind, is popular with travelers.
