Gunsan Oreum Volcanic Cone

Gunsan Oreum is a volcanic cone (oreum) located in the western part of Jeju Island, rising gently above the surrounding plains and offering sweeping panoramic views across the island's pastoral landscape. Like many of Jeju's roughly 360 parasitic volcanic cones, it rewards visitors with a relatively accessible hike to the summit crater rim, where coastal scenery and distant mountain silhouettes come into view. The surrounding grasslands are home to grazing livestock, a sight characteristic of Jeju's oreum terrain. The trail is well-suited for walkers of moderate fitness and is popular among those seeking quieter alternatives to Jeju's busier attractions.
