Jeju - Eorimok - Yeongsil - Jeju (- - -) 11km
Today's hiking is designed for active adults for all levels of fitness. This 11-km hiking trail from Eorimok (970m) to Yeongsil visitos center (1,000m) is one of the greatest hikes on the island. The view from the trail on a clear day, includes Mt. Hallasan, small villages dotting the island, and numerous Oreums scattered around. Spring can be a particularly beautiful time of year for this walk as the park is covered in beautiful wild flowers adding a splash of colour to the green mountains, and in autumn you can feel the change of season. Today, you will enjoy an easy overall 5 hours walk. While there are several options to take from, you will follow the Sajebi Hill (1,423m), Manse Hill (1,606m) and finally Witsae Oreum Shelter (1,700m), covering a total of 4.7km in about 2 hours and 30 minutes, from where you take a Yeongsil trail of 6.1Km, passing by Byeongpung Bawi and Yeongsil shelter (1,280m). The first leg of hiking can be strenuous and Byeongpung Bawi (folding screen rocks) area on descend is rather steep. Stay on the trail with a group as always since the trail in part can cause rockslides and a risk of getting lost. Also be prepared for the risk of hypothermia as the weather in the Hallsan is unpredictable and there is a high risk of fog and lightning.
