Did you know that the
whole Jeju Island is surrounded by trekking routes called “Olle” trail? Take a walk on the trail if you have anything to get off your mind and refresh yourself walking along a coast, mountains and fields. When you feel like being alone, Gear yourself now up and leave! The Olle trail is the
right destination for loners.
The
Olle trail consists of 21 routes. Some are short but tough and rugged, some are
long but even. Some routes pass through a tropical rain forest, but some pass
through the cool ocean wind. Although every route has its own beauty and magnetism, let me introduce 5 best ones for those who don't know what to choose among 21. Try at least one
of these five.
Route 1: Siheung Elementary School to
Gwangchigi Beach (15Km)

Yes, it is the
first route from the starting point. This route is the oldest among the 21 and boasts of the beautiful scenery around. In addition, you can get to Seongsan Ilchulbong directly though this route. The combination of the ocean and
mountain is epic here.
Route 7 : Oedolgae Rock to Wolpyeong Port (14.2km)
 |
| naver/jazznclimb |
Mostly,
the route pass along the coast. But, this route meets a fascinating trail "Subongno” on the way, in which wildlife and plants are well-preserved. Hard to pronounce, no? In fact, it's named after Kim Subong who volunteered to make the path and the steps with a shovel and pickax.
Route 10: Hwasun Beach Resort to Moseulpo (15.5km)
 |
| naver/jazznclimb |
Most
of foreign tourists pass by here on the bus, glancing over from the
window. But, please don't make yourself a mediocre traveler, I know you want a better travel experience. If you are coming to Jeju in summer, Hwasun Beach Resort could be a good place to have fun and relax. On the way, you will find a odd-looking mountains, Sanbangsan and Song-aksan. At the end point Moseulpo, many must-stop restaurants
are concentrated.
Route 11: Moselpo to Mureung (17.5km)
Long
and tough, the route once made me completely lost. I was so
embarrassed to find myself near a military base. By the time you reach the
ending point, I bet you will have already forgot about other routes, for it is beyond
comparison. On the way, you will pass though a graveyard, but don’t get too scared.
When you step into Gotjawal forest with a mysterious ambiance, you will be proud of
yourself for having made a wise choice. But, don’t walk alone unless you want to
get a heart attack and make one of the graves your resting home forever.
Route 1-1: Udo Island (11.3km)

This
is a route that goes into and around a tiny isalnd. Green grassland,
stone walls, and the emerald beach resemble the whole Jeju island in microcosm.
Or, just sleep a night over there. It will make your trip to Jeju even more
memorable.
