Hiking South Korea

The Jeju Coast is covered with many hiking trails. There are a total of 26 different routes, ranging in length from 5 to 23 km. These paths mostly follow the coast, although some of them grow inland. It is possible to cover all the routes in one go, stopping in the villages you pass through. The route is on the whole very pleasant, one only regrets that it is too developed, with slabs on the ground and handrails, rather than a path.

These hikes have the advantage of being accessible to as many people as possible.

Dongaksan Mountains. Several hikes of about 4 hours each in these mountains just south of the city.

Mount Tongmyeongsan. Tongmyeongsan Mountain is the highest point in the area and offers three short, pleasant routes.

Mount Bongdusan. To the south of the town, on the small road that joins Suncheon, its top would look like a phoenix head, hence its name. A few hikes, passing by the Taeansa temple.
