Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Located in Gasi-ri, Pyoseon-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, this horseshoe-shaped crater opens to the southwest. The Gasitnae stream flows west of the oreum, and the village of Gasi-ri sits cozily to the west. To the northwest is Seol Oreum, and to the south is Gasi Oreum. The total area is approximately 252,799㎡, with a circumference of 1,859m and a height of 188.2m. 'Gapseon-ie' appears to be a native Jeju word, but its meaning is unclear; it is said to originate from the shape resembling a larva or cicada that has not shed its skin. The surrounding area is mainly composed of graves, orchards, and farmland. The Gamacheon (Gasicheon) stream between the village and the oreum flows to the beach of Sehwa-ri. The foot of the oreum is covered with a dense mixed forest of cedar, evergreens, and deciduous trees. During forest fire prevention periods (spring: February 1 to May 15, autumn: November 1 to December 15), access to the mountain is restricted.
