The Geomunoreum is highly recommended. Unlike other oreums in Jeju Island, most of the nature is preserved. You can instantly feel the difference between oreums that people artificially made and the one that is all natural. The requirements might seem complicated, but the oreum is worthwhile.

There is a reason this oreum was selected as Unesco heritage sight. There are brackens, moss, ceder trees, shrubs, and pines. There are also many bird species living here. The lava tube, columnar - jointed cliffs, and waterfalls all makes the Geomunoreum special.
