VISIT JEJU

An island of secrets and a geopark created by a volcano

Unlike most of the islands in Korea, Jejudo was produced by volcanic activity. This beautiful island’s Hallasan Mountain and approximately 360 volcanic cones not only provide a variety of sights, but are also very valuable geological assets.

From Muobeopjeongsa Temple to Donnaeko Valley,

On Hallasan Mountain, a mountain that represents Jeju, there is the Halla Trail, a fantastical forest path where you can meet nature. The Halla Trail, which surrounds the national forest that sits 600 to 800m above sea level, is an 80km-long forest path that connects Muobeopjeongsa, Sioreum Parasitic Cone, Suakgyo Valley, and Iseungak (Iseungi Volcanic Cone) by using a logistics road and forest trail built during the Japanese occupation of Korea and a transport road for shiitake mushroom farms. For some, Halla Trail is a place to experience the history, ecology, and forest culture of Jeju, whereas, for others, it is a place to heal the difficulties of everyday life. Among the various Halla Trails, we introduce Dongbaek-gil Trail where you can heal with nature and view the history and ecology of Jeju from a diverse perspective.
