Climb from Eorimok to a small volcanic peak with wide island views on clear days. This short trail reaches Eoseungsaengak, not Hallasan’s Baengnokdam summit.

Getting to the start.

  • Bus 240 serves the Eorimok approach. Check the Jeju Bus Information System for the current route and timetable, then allow separately for the walk to the visitor centre.
  • Choose the signed Eoseungsaengak entrance beside the visitor centre. The longer Eorimok trail is a separate route.

Before you set off.

  • Check Hallasan National Park notices, weather and entry controls before setting out.
  • The official 30-minute figure covers the outward climb only. Allow extra time for the descent, transport and breaks.
  • Bring drinking water and suitable layers; there are no shops along the trail. Stay on the designated path.

These are planning notes, not a live opening report. Check the managing authority, weather and return transport immediately before your walk. Source review: 27 October 2026.
