Suwolbong
Hill in Jeju Province, South Korea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suwolbong (Korean: 수월봉) is an oreum (small extinct volcano) in Hangyeong, Jeju City, Jeju Province, South Korea.[1] Its peak is 77m above sea level.[2]
The volcano was formed 18,000 years ago and has a 73m tuff ring. The cliffs of the mountain have been eroded due to the nearby ocean, and are considered to clearly and beautifully show the various sedimentary layers of the volcano. For this reason, the mountain's cliffs were designated Natural Monument of South Korea No. 513 in 2009.[1]
The coastal cliffs of the mountain extend for around 2km and are called Eongal 엉알. There is a trail along the cliffs that tourists can walk along. The trail not only has scenic views of the cliffs and Suwolbong, but also of the ocean and nearby islands of Chagwido. There has been an annual walking event held at the trail since 2010.[2]
