Jeju Olle Trail 6, South Korea
The weather wasn’t great in the morning, so I delayed heading out. I chose a shorter hike today—Jeju Olle Trail 6. I had planned to take the bus to the starting point and walk back, but I ended up following the orange arrows and doing it in reverse.
It was still raining when I started. The trail first passed through a historical site and a waterfall before leading me down a rocky cliffside near the water. The wet rocks made this section tricky, and I had to cross a stream, but the views were absolutely worth it. I saw some hikers, though fewer than yesterday.
Near the end, I reached a black sand beach—similar to Reynisfjara in Iceland—followed by an emerald-colored river that took my breath away. I spent way too much time admiring and photographing it!
Finally, I arrived at the official starting point of Trail 6, stamped my Jeju Olle Passport, explored a nearby village, and caught the bus back to Seogwipo.
