Yeongsil Trail (Hallasan National Park)

한라산 영실 · Jeju · Hiking & mountains

Yeongsil Trail is renowned as the shortest yet the best trail for its beautiful scenery among those of Hallasan Mountain. It is 5.8 kilometers and takes approximately 2 hour and 30 minutes to get to the destination. Starting from Yeongsil Rest Area, an uphill path emerges along steep mountain ridges to reach the Nambyeok Watershed. With its steep and flat parts, the hike is easy enough for children. It's a wonderful way to appreciate the lush forest and beautiful scenery.
