Jeju's representative horseshoe-shaped volcano was registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 2007, the first in Korea. You can enjoy the volcanic terrain and lava tubes, which are known to be of high geological value. To protect nature, the number of visitors is limited to 450 per day, and climbing is not possible without a reservation. There are three trails: the summit course, the crater course, and the overall course, and you climb them with a guide. The summit course follows a path through a dense cedar forest and arrives at the summit with a panoramic view of Hallasan Mountain, Mulchat Oreum, and Min Oreum. There is also a crater course where you can admire the crater, and a full course where you can explore the entire Geomun Oreum.
