Walking the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail offered one of the calmest and most atmospheric forest journeys I’ve experienced in Jeju travel. The sound of the wind, the scent of the forest floor, and the quiet flow of the stream created a natural rhythm that guided my steps. After finishing the trail, a warm bowl of signature jjamppong and a peaceful Jeju cafe with an ocean view completed the day beautifully. It was a course I feel confident recommending to any traveler visiting Jeju for the first time.

1. Starting the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail at Borim Farm Junction
As I stepped onto the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail, the air immediately felt cooler and richer with the scent of earth and fallen leaves. The wide forest path made it easy to warm up slowly, and the soft light filtering through the canopy added a gentle rhythm to the beginning of the journey.
This section is ideal for beginners and international visitors, as the course is clearly marked with the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail signs. Even from the early steps, the surroundings felt peaceful—almost as if the forest was intentionally guiding me forward.
2. A Comfortable Forest Walk Toward Doloreum Entrance
The next 2 km toward Doloreum Entrance continued through calm forest stretches lined with oak and cedar trees. As I walked, the light breeze carried the scent of moss and soil, creating a soothing atmosphere.
The sound of Saekdalcheon stream followed me for a while, blending naturally with the rustling leaves.
Here, the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail ribbons appear frequently, making it nearly impossible to lose direction. It was a moment where I felt a slow immersion into nature—steady, peaceful, and calming.
3. Reaching Doloreum Peak, One of Jeju’s Most Serene Viewpoints
The short climb from the entrance to the top of Doloreum is slightly steep, but it is manageable at a gentle pace. Once I reached the peak, the cool wind welcomed me immediately, opening up a wide panoramic view of Hallasan’s ridgeline and iconic oreums like Beopjeongi, Samhyeongje, and Bole Oreum.
This was a moment where Jeju travel felt especially meaningful. The layered oreum silhouettes, combined with the quiet atmosphere at the peak, captured Jeju’s natural essence beautifully.
Here again, the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail marker confirmed the route and offered a reassuring sense of direction.
4. Forest Depth at Pyogo Farm Junction and the Volcanic Beauty of Yongbawi
Descending from the peak leads into deeper forest terrain where the air feels cooler and more humid. Pyogo Farm Junction appears unexpectedly, with old shiitake mushroom farms and charcoal kiln remains that hint at Jeju’s traditional mountain lifestyle.
As I continued, the trail transitioned into the Yongbawi section, where volcanic rock layers resembled dragon scales—a unique geological feature native to Jeju. The sound of the stream became clearer here, creating a naturally meditative environment.
Throughout this area, the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail signs continued to guide the way with ease.
5. Completing the Trail at Georinsaseum Entrance and Moving Toward Seogwipo
When the trees began to thin and the sky slowly opened up, I realized I was approaching Georinsaseum Entrance, the final point of the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail. The fresh openness after a long forest walk felt refreshing and rewarding.
- By Bus: Take Bus 240 from the Seogwipo Recreation Forest stop

This is where the hiking journey transitions smoothly into the food and cafe itinerary that defines a perfect one-day course.
6. Enjoying Seogwipo’s Signature Jjamppong at Ham’s Chef Kitchen
After completing the trail, I drove about 15 minutes to Ham’s Chef Kitchen, a well-known restaurant run by a former Shilla Hotel chef. The warm interior design and gentle lighting made it a comforting place to rest after the hike.
When I tasted the signature jjamppong, the deep broth and generous amount of beef and seafood immediately stood out. It felt like a warm reward after completing the Hallasan Dullegil Route 2 Doloreum Trail. It is a place I would confidently recommend to visitors seeking high-quality Jeju food.
