Gase Oreum

Located in Pyoseon-myeon, Gase Oreum is a horseshoe-shaped volcanic cone with a split summit. Its name, derived from the Jeju dialect word "gase" meaning "scissors," comes from its resemblance to a pair of shears. The oreum features five rocky peaks: Yeomtong Oreum, Jogeun Yeomtong, Dalmoru, Jindongsan, and Sumgolwat. However, these peaks are often hidden by dense thickets and lack formal trails, making them difficult to locate. While there are directional signs for first-time visitors, the complex terrain can easily lead to getting lost. Due to the risk of scratches from thorny bushes, wearing long pants is highly recommended. A mobile base station sits on the northern peak, while a guard post stands atop the southern peak, serving as easy landmarks for navigation. Once you reach the summit and climb to the guard post, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the cluster of oreums in Gasi-ri.
