Hallasan National Park: what to see and do

Known for

• Baengnokdam, the crater lake at the summit
• Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa summit trails
• Eorimok Trail, a shorter hike without the summit

What to do

Hike one of the summit trails for a full day, or choose a shorter trail such as Eorimok for forest and open views without reaching the top.

Tip: Public buses reach the main trailheads, but start early. Summit hikes need an advance reservation, so check before you go.
