A small hiking route. I visited Jeju Island again just to come here.
Go to Jeju Island again in March
Travel to Jeju twice within six months
All for the sake of walking the Olai trail
Hiking, stamping, watching the sea, and experiencing the humanities
This is a must-go route for Korean hiking enthusiasts
One of the top ten most popular coastal hiking routes
Helped me unlock the unique Jeju Island
👇After I started to understand Olai Trail, I read all the guides and wrote the following summary based on my experience. I hope it can help you
📪About Olai Trail
➤ The whole journey is 437km, consisting of 27 routes. You will get an Oulai certificate after walking 100km, and an Oulai badge after completing the whole journey.
➤The route connects Jeju Island, and you can see the wonderful views hidden on the island by hiking. Not only the natural scenery, but also the cultural history and the local lifestyle!
🗺️This article's hiking route - Olai Line 7
Located in Seogwipo on the southern line, this is the most beautiful of the 27 Olle trails. It is 17.6km long and takes 5-7 hours. It is flat and easy to walk along the way, making it a beginner-friendly route!

During my two trips to Jeju Island, I visited most of the attractions. My biggest feeling was that there are artificially carved "Internet celebrity check-ins" in every city, but the carefully designed island hiking routes like Oulai Trail are not available everywhere.
I really like what the official said: connect broken roads, find forgotten roads, and repair disappeared roads. It was only when I followed you to explore that I discovered the true beauty of Jeju Island.
