Saryeoni Forest

Jeju-si


On the eastern border of Hallasan National Park, this is a popular weekend walking destination with 15km of forest paths shaded by maples, oaks and cedars, with the occasional roaming deer. Plan on four hours to walk the entire path between the two roadside entrances.

It's on Rtes 1112 and 1118; or take a 30 minute bus from Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal.
