Eoseungsaengak Trail — Attraction in Jeju

I walked the easiest trail (Eoseungsaengak) with a Tour group.

• Tour: Jeju island Southern Unesco Mt.halla ONE day Bus Tour
• Booked via booking.com

Thoughts about the trail: It takes 30-40 minutes to reach the mini peak, and easy to walk as the path is mainly made up of dirt paths and boardwalks. One does not need to be very fit to do this route. If you do some simple walking cardio in your daily life, this route is easy. The mini peak is very windy, enjoy the view and make sure there are no loose belongings. :)

Thoughts about the tour: I recommend going with a tour, as it could bring tourists to different locations without worrying about transport. My tour consisted of 5 different locations including Hallasan, and we had a decent to good amount of time for each location. The tour recommended the easiest trail as most people would be able to complete it. If u would like to walk the more difficult trails (3h per direction), an alternative arrangement would have to be made.

A shoutout to Peter who was my tour guide. [Guy in the middle of the group photo is Peter] He was very humorous, and shared a lot of interesting information about Jeju Island. If u need any assistance (e.g. photo taking, lunch ordering), he will not hesitate to help. Thanks to him, I enjoyed the...

Took the trail in January (Winter).

The first time we went up, it was very icy and looked very dangerous without crampons (especially as my wife is pregnant), so we just played in the snow for a bit.

Note that no crampons are sold around the area. You'll have to find them before you go up the mountain.

The second time we bought crampons and were more prepared! But because it was the weekend, there were a lot more people taking the trails (it shares a carpark with Eorimok trail). We had to park a ways down the mountain on the roadside and climb up from there.

It still took the good part of 2 hours to get up and down. A lot of photos may show you boardwalks, which may fool you into thinking that this is an easy trail, but unfortunately all the boardwalks get snowed over during the winter.

So come prepared with crampons during the winter and leave time for 2 hours if you want to enjoy the view and take nice photos. Snacks like kimbap (we liked New-Jeoji) are also highly...

There are a lot of stairs and it takes a lot of effort.The view from the top is very beautiful.

가족들과 함께 하기 좋은 코스다. 짧은 코스지만 높이는 1169미터로 상당히 높다. 한라산 정상이 보이고 제주시내가 한눈에 들어온다.

아래는 죽기전에 꼭 가봐야할 국내 1001 인용한다.

한라산 등산로 중 가장 완만한 산행길로 가족 단위의 나들이에 좋은 어리목 입구에서 연결되는 오름이다. 한라산의 능선으로 착각하기 쉬우나 높이 1,169m로 단일 분화구를 가지는 오름 중에서 가장 높다. 날씨의 영향으로 등반이 제한되는 경우가 많은 한라산을 대신하여 제주의 전경을 즐기기 위한 한 시간 가량의 가벼운 등산코스로 인기가 높다. 특히 북서쪽으로 제주의 식수를 공급하는 수원지가 넓게 자리하고 있다. 제주의 특산물로 조선시대 이름 높았던 말 중 가장 뛰어난 명마가 탄생하여 ‘임금님에게 바치는 말’이란 의미의 ‘어승생’이란 이름을 가지게 되었다.

진입로에서 정상까지 나무계단으로 이어져 누구나 쉽게 오를 수 있고 정상에서 바라보는 경관은 한라산을 병풍 삼아 제주 해안의 광활한 모습을 한눈에 담는 장관이다. 아흔 아홉 개의 기암괴석이 자리한다는 구구곡과 경관이 아름다운 천황사에 흉물스러운 콘크리트 시설물이 있어 마음을 아프게 하는데, 오름 정상 부근에 2차 세계 대전 말기 제주도를 마지막 결전지로 삼고 일제가 설치한 군사시설인 토치카를 철거하지 않고 남겨 놓았다.

It's a good course to do with your family. It is a short course, but it is quite high at 1,169 meters. You can see the top of Hallasan Mountain and you can see the downtown of Jeju at a glance.

Below is a quote from 1001 in Korea that you must visit before you die.

It is the most gentle hiking trail among Hallasan Mountain hiking trails, and it is an oreum connected to the entrance of Eorimok, which is good for family outings. It is easy to mistake it for the ridge of Hallasan Mountain, but it is 1,169m high and is the highest among the oreum with a single crater. It is popular as a light hiking course for about an hour to enjoy the panoramic view of Jeju instead of Hallasan Mountain, which is often restricted from climbing due to the influence of the weather. In particular, to the northwest, there is a wide water source that supplies Jeju's drinking water. As a special product of Jeju, the most outstanding horse among the most famous horses of the Joseon Dynasty was born, and it was named Eoseungsaeng, meaning "a word dedicated to the king."

From the driveway to the summit, anyone can easily climb the wooden stairs, and the view from the summit is a spectacular view of the Jeju coast at a glance using Hallasan Mountain as a folding screen. It is heartbreaking to have a hideous concrete facility in Gugugok and Cheonhwangsa Temple with beautiful scenery, where 99 strange rocks are located, and Jeju Island at the end of World War II was used as the last battleground near the summit of Oreum, leaving the military facility installed by Japan...
