Donggeomeun Oreum

Donggeomeun Oreum, located in Gujwa-eup, Jeju City, is also called Geomi Oreum (Spider Oreum), Donggeomeuni Oreum, or Donggeomeuni Oreum. There is a theory that the name 'Dong' was added because there is another black oreum in Jocheon, and it was named 'Geomeuni Oreum' because the oreum appears black. Another theory suggests it is called 'Geomi Oreum' because the slopes extending in all directions resemble a spider's web. Unlike typical oreums that are round and smooth, its ridges appear as if they are about to break, and from a distance, it looks like multiple oreums. Geomi Oreum shows various shapes depending on the viewing direction. Seen from Baegyagi Oreum, it looks like a spider with its legs raised, while from the opposite direction, it resembles a camel with two humps. There are three main hiking courses: passing in front of the high oreum from the entrance of Gujwa Public Cemetery, following the Mungseogi Oreum path from the entrance of Baegyagi Oreum, and using the forest road next to Wollangji. The blue sky, deep green fields, distant Udo Island and Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, and the blue sea create a spectacular view, and nearby Baegyagi Oreum and Darangswi Oreum can also be seen at a glance. It has a total of three craters: two funnel-shaped circular craters and one horseshoe-shaped crater resembling a samtaegi (a type of winnowing basket). The overlapping craters and the dense grass and trees inside them give an exotic feel. Address: San70, Jongdal-ri, Gujwa-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (Gujwa-eup)
