An oreum with a crater ringed by cedars

Address

Geumbaek-ro, Songdang-ri, Gujwa-eup, Jeju City

A few dozen steps and you are at the rim. Looking down, cedars stand in a neat circle inside the round crater. Walk the ridge and the other eastern oreums appear, then Hallasan far off. It is a short, easy route even for a first oreum. It is on ranch land, so keep clear of grazing cattle and horses.
