Jeju Olle’s first route connects Oreums to the ocean. The route starts near Siheung-ri Station and connects to an evergreen field, Malmi Oreum(small extinct volcano) and Al Oreum(small extinct volcano) with a panoramic view of Seongsan Ilchulbong(peak) and U-do Island. This view, the green fields with Jeju’s signature black stone wall, resembles a patchwork of colorful cloth. Passing Jongdal-ri old salt flat and Siheung-ri coastal road and you will arrive at Sumapo Beach with an impressive view of Seongsan Ilchulbong(peak). Finally, the color of the ocean and algae covered rocks at Gwangchigi Beach is simply stunning. / *Sumapo : port where horses grown in Jeju were sent to the mainland back in Joseon Dynasty.
Wheelchair Accessible Area
Difficulty :
Distance : 4.6km / Jongdal-ri Old Salt Flat ~ Seongsan Gapmun(flood gate) Entrance
Starting Point : 814-5 Jongdal-ri, Gujwa-eup, Jeju-si
As the first route of the Jeju Olle Trail, it is quite an easy route paved through the Badang Olle(seaside walk). Especially, the coastal road from Jongdal to Siheung is considered as the longest and the most beautiful coastal road in Jeju Island.
Route Tip
There are restaurants on the coastal road to Jongdal-ri and Seongsan. Popular dishes are clam porridge and abalone porridge at ‘Haenyeo(women diver) House”. If you leave early enough, you can have lunch at Seongsan.

01 Jeju Olle Friendship Trail
Camino de Santiago
- Location : The French Way(Arca) ~
- Difficulty : Low
- Distance : 22km, 6 hours
The walk on Camino de Santiago began in the ninth century to commemorate St. Jacob, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. It is a trail highlighting the ancient history of the Christian culture, also widely known to offer enlightenment for peace and harmony. The French Way is the most visited of the ten Camino routes, and Arca do Pino, the last journey to Santiago Cathedral, is a Friendship Trail to Route One of the Jeju Olle Trail. Arca do Pino passes a Eucalyptus Forest, a village, and the center of A Lavacolla, where pilgrims enjoy the tradition of washing their bodies in a flowing stream. On the hill of Monte do Gozo, a rest area for pilgrims, is the Jeju Olle Trail‘s Ganse signage, next to the Statues of Pilgrims, as an homage to the Friendship Trail.

How to find the Starting Point
How to find the way back from the Finishing Point
Resembling the head of a horse, another name for this oreum(small extinct volcano) is Doosan-bong(peak). Below it is a vast field of Seongsan-po. There is Seongsan Ilchul-bong(peak) in the front and U-do(island) on the left to it.
It is a volcanic island formed 100,000 years ago connected to the main island of Jeju as with sand and pebbles piled up. Three sides are cliffs, and 99 rock spires surround the crater on the top which looks like a huge castle. The name 'Seongsan' is after bib castle and 'Ilchul-bong(peak)' is after the sunrise watching on the peak.
As its name suggests, the Oreum looks like a bird’s egg. It is also called ‘Malsanmae’. You can get a panoramic view of the field of Seongsan-po, Seongsan Ilchul-bong(peak)), U-do(island), Halla-san(mountain), and the oreums of east Jeju, including Darangshe Oreum.
Because the mudflat for the salt field was scarce in Jeju even though the ocean surrounds the island, salt was scarce in the island. Therefore, Jongdal-ri people boiled seawater in an iron pot to collect the salt. They did so the middle of the Joseon Dynasty to the 1990s. Today, a thick silver grass field has formed on the exact site, adding odd appeal to the trail.
This pogu(port) is where the horses grazed in Jeju were sent away to the mainland in the Joseon Dynasty. Below Seongsan Ilchul-bong(peak) are the disheartening 23 cave fortifications of the Japanese near the end of World War II.
