Taeha Coastal Trail and Daepunggam Cliff (태하 해안산책로 및 대풍감 (울릉도, 독도 국가지질공원))

Introduction

Taeha Coastal Trail can be reached by crossing the pedastrian bridge next to Hwangtogul Cave. While crossing the bridge, visitors can enjoy murals of Taeha Village and a photo zone. Taeha Coastal Trail is made up of trachyte and agglomerate rocks, and boasts beautiful coastal scenery due to the unique topography eroded by the wind. It is also where one can observe tafoni, a honeycomb-shaped rocks that weathered by the reaction of salts contained in sea breezes.

By taking the Taeha Hyangmok Tour Monorail for about 6 minutes and walking along the trail for about 20 minutes, visitors will reach Ulleungdo Lighthouse (Taeha Lighthouse) and the Hyangmok Geo Skywalk.

Junipers in Daepunggam Cliff grew in weathered soil formed in the cracks of columnar joints, creating a unique ecological environment isolated from inland areas for a very long time. Due to its significance, Junipers were designated as natural monuments.
