The Gapsa Temple is located in the forested foothills of Gyeryongsan mountain, 19 kilometers from Gongju and a three-hour walk from Donghaksa Temple. The temple is at its most beautiful during fall, when it's surrounded by crimson foliage. Gapsa Temple was established by monk Adohwasang in 420, during the early Baekje Period. The temple's beauty has allowed it to escape destruction many times, but it was ultimately burned down during the Imjin War (1592-1598). The current structures were built in 1604. Nearby attractions include Yongmunpokpo Falls, Sujeongbong Peak, and Cheonjinbotab Pagoda.
