소개
Located at about 1,700 m above sea level on the western side of Hallasan, this highland oreum area is known as the highest oreum in Jeju apart from Hallasan. The name refers collectively to three oreums—Buleunoreum, Nounoreum, and Jogeunoreum—and it can be accessed via the Yeongsil and Eorimok trails. From the summit area, Baengnokdam itself is not visible, but you can enjoy grand views of Baengnokdam’s eastern and southern crater walls. The vast Seonjakjiwat plain and a variety of alpine wildflowers that bloom each season create a beautiful landscape. In particular, the Yeongsil course is relatively easy to climb, drawing many hikers, and it is a 대표 trekking destination where you can experience the unique charm of Jeju’s alpine zone.
