Discover Gasae Oreum: Jeju Island’s Hidden Volcanic Cone

Nestled in the quiet expanse of Pyoseon-myeon, Seogwipo on Jeju Island, Gasae Oreum is a lesser-known volcanic cone that rewards hikers with a peaceful and scenic experience. Located in Tosan-ri, this charming oreum offers an easy-to-moderate hike suitable for all ages who want to enjoy the beauty of Jeju’s natural landscapes without the crowds.

Scenic Hiking Trail and Panoramic Views

The trail winds gently through lush grasslands and forested areas, providing multiple vantage points that open up to the stunning south-eastern coastline of the island. As you ascend, you’ll be surrounded by native flora and the occasional chirping of Jeju’s birdlife, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts.

Public transportation can take you fairly close to the area. From Jeju City, take an intercity bus to Pyoseon and transfer to a local bus toward Tosan-ri. From the nearest bus stop, it’s a short walk to the base of the oreum. Due to limited signage in the area, it’s recommended to bring a map or GPS device to ensure a smooth journey.
