Sancheondan Altar, where the altar for Rituals to Hallasan Mountain is located, is surrounded by a forest so thick that sunlight cannot reach inside it even in the summer. Inside the forest is a 19m – 23m black pine tree that was designated as Natural Monument 160. It is estimated to be about 500 to 600 years old, which makes it the oldest tree in Korea.
As you walk through the forest, you can hear the sound of the wind blowing through the pine leaves. The mossy altar below the black pine tree that reaches out to the heavens with its branches contains a history spanning hundreds of years. Sitting under the thick trees will make you feel like one of the virtuous men who performed rituals.
