Mysterious Road (Dokkaebi Road)

도깨비도로(Mysterious Road) This fun spot is called the Jeju Mysterious Road or Dokkaebi Road. It earned its name because when you place a car on this steep road, the car does not roll down but it goes up, defying gravity.  This is actually an optical illusion, in which the surroundings trick the eye and make the road look like it is tilted in the opposite direction.

Eoseungsaengak (Eoseungsaeng Volcanic Cone), a parasitic volcano of Hallasan Mountain, can be climbed from the Eorimok District of Hallasan Mountain National Park. From Cheonwangsa Temple, take the 1100 Road from Cheonwangsa Temple to Seogwipo. It takes about an hour round trip from Eorimok to the top of Eoseungsaengak Peak. The hiking trail is made of log stairs, and the floor is laid with wide wooden boards as a measure to prevent soil loss at the summit. At the beginning of the trail, there is a sign that reads "Eoseungsaengak Hiking Trail". The origin of the name Eoseungsaeng came from "the place where the king's horse flies", and there is an interesting legend related to it. A central official was exiled after being falsely accused of treason. This official died here, worrying only about the king and the country, but he said, "I will be reborn and become a horse ridden by the king to support the king." He died without speaking.
