Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

Ulleungdo, the ninth largest island in Korea, is a representative island formed by volcanic activity. It includes the main island, the inhabited islands Dokdo and Jukdo, and Gwaneumdo, which was inhabited in the past but is currently uninhabited. Around the island, there are a total of 44 attached islands, including large and small rock islands such as Samseonam, Danbawi, Elephant Rock, and Bukjeobawi. Most of Ulleungdo Island is made up of steep cliffs, so it is known as a natural rock climbing destination. Dodong Coastal Cliffs, Jeodong Yongbawi Rock, Janggun Rock, Samseonam Rock, and Songgot Rock are favorite climbing courses among mountain climbers, and the surrounding scenery from the top is spectacular. In addition, Ulleungdo has a total of nine old road courses that were created by reorganizing the coastal paths, mountain paths, and river paths that residents walked along while leading their lives from the pioneering period to modern times, and are currently being continuously renovated. Through this Ulleung Haedam-gil, you can not only indirectly experience the lives of Ulleung Island residents in the past, but also fully experience the natural scenery of Ulleung Island, where the mystery of ancient times has been preserved intact.
