Gamsugul Batdam-gil

Located in Jungdong, Pyeongdaeri, Gamsugul Batdam-gil is a pleasant walking path where visitors can enjoy the serene, old-fashioned atmosphere of the village. Starting from the Pyeongdaeri Jungdong Village Community Center, the course is approximately 1.5 km long and takes about 30 minutes. Batdam refers to stone walls built by piling scattered stones beside fields during cultivation on Jeju Island, a volcanic island. The stones are loosely stacked with gaps, allowing them to withstand typhoons, protect crops from wind, and prevent livestock from entering. Gamsugul Batdam-gil features the Gamsugul Well. It is said that the well was named Gamsugul because of its excellent water taste. Gamsugul Batdam-gil, along with Nammi Batdam-gil, Jinbille Batdam-gil, Mulme Batdam-gil, and Eomeongabang Batdam-gil, has been designated as one of Jeju's 8 Great Batdam-gil routes to promote the experience of Jeju's stone walls and rural culture and environment, as well as to boost local publicity.
