On a morning when the air felt unusually clear, I began my walk along the Hallasan Dullegil Section 3 Forest Healing Trail. The scent of cedar trees, the cool shadows of the forest, and the gentle sound of Dosuncheon flowing beside me slowly grounded my steps. After the hike, I treated myself to a hearty Jeju black pork meal at Black Ranch, followed by a peaceful ocean-view coffee time at South Shore Café. It felt like a day gifted with nature, good food, and warm moments throughout this Jeju trip.
1. Introduction to Hallasan Dullegil Section 3 Forest Healing Trail
The Hallasan Dullegil Section 3 Forest Healing Trail starts from Seogwipo Natural Recreation Forest and leads to the entrance of Moo-o Beopjeongsa Temple. This 2.3km trail is well-maintained, gentle, and perfect even for beginners. The path is surrounded by Japanese cedar and cypress trees, creating a refreshing atmosphere unique to Jeju’s mid-mountain forests.
As you walk deeper into the trail, the sound of birds blends softly with the shifting breeze. The moment you reach Dosuncheon Stream, the scenery opens wider and becomes even more peaceful. Even though the trail isn’t long, it offers the kind of calm that makes your heart settle. For travelers—especially international visitors—this is one of the best places to experience Korea’s serene forest landscape.
2. Starting the Walk at Seogwipo Natural Recreation Forest
From the moment I stepped into the forest entrance, the subtle scent of cedar flowed in with the morning air. It immediately felt like the beginning of a good day.
The Hallasan Dullegil Section 3 Forest Healing Trail naturally connects with the recreation forest’s walking route. Soft soil and palm-mat paths make every step light and steady. What I appreciated most about the starting section was the sudden shift from open road to deep forest. Sunlight slipped gently through the branches, revealing Jeju’s natural warmth and color.
For those who enjoy quiet walking, this beginning part already feels rewarding. And for foreign travelers, it’s the perfect introduction to the gentle atmosphere of Korean forest trails.
3. Walking Through the Cedar Forest and Quiet Mountain Road
Deeper into the trail, the path becomes calmer. The cedar and cypress trees stand tall on both sides, creating a natural tunnel of greenery.
The mid-section of the Hallasan Dullegil Section 3 Forest Healing Trail crosses the forest’s service road a few times, but the peaceful scenery continues uninterrupted. Personally, I loved the way the earth felt soft under each step, and how the forest air smelled clean and cool. The wind brushing through the leaves created a rhythm that naturally slowed my pace.
This part of the trail truly embodies the meaning of a “healing walk.”
4. The Highlight of the Course – Descending to Dosuncheon Stream
A staircase appears suddenly along the trail, and as you descend, you begin to hear the sound of flowing water. At the bottom, Dosuncheon Stream reveals itself with refreshing clarity.
For me, this was the most beautiful point of the Hallasan Dullegil Section 3 Forest Healing Trail. The breeze felt cooler, and the sound of the stream echoed softly between the trees. I found myself stopping for a moment just to take it in.
It’s also a wonderful spot for photography, and a great place to show international visitors the blend of Jeju’s forest and volcanic-formed waterways.
5. Reaching the End Point – The Calm Entrance of Moo-o Beopjeongsa Temple
After passing Dosuncheon, the trail gently guides you toward the entrance of Moo-o Beopjeongsa Temple. This is where Section 3 ends and Section 4 (the Camellia Trail) begins.
Looking back from this point, the quiet outline of the forest shows the entire journey of the Hallasan Dullegil Section 3 Forest Healing Trail. I paused here for a while, feeling the soft calm of the surroundings. Nature truly has a way of bringing peace to the mind.
6. Black Ranch (Kkeomeong Ranch) – Delicious Jeju Black Pork After the Hike
After completing the Hallasan Dullegil Section 3 Forest Healing Trail, I headed to Black Ranch, a well-known Jeju black pork restaurant. They grill the meat for you, which makes the meal especially easy and enjoyable after a long walk.
The flavor of the aged black pork was rich and juicy. Paired with Jeju-style pickled vegetables and warm side dishes, it felt like the perfect reward after a peaceful hike. It absolutely deserves its reputation as a must-try Jeju food spot.
