This Wetland is one of the few wetlands in the highland and represents such biodiversity in Korea. As a volcanic area, this Wetland plays a significant role in the Halla Mountain area, where water is scarce.

This attraction is open most of the time of the year. Most of all, you can hike the area free of entrance fee!

As a wetland, it is rich with wildlife and under the protection of local authorities. It supports diverse endangered species and indigenous species in its beautiful landscapes.

With such incredible geographical and biodiversity, Jeju Wetland has been designated one of Korea's National Wetland Protected Areas. Even the Ramsar Convention designated it as a wetland of great international importance.

This unique kind of Wetland is located on the crater lake found on the top of 'oreum,' a secondary volcano on Hallasan Mountain.

Among the species living in this Wetland are the endangered species, including the Narrow-mouthed frog and the Giant Water Bug.

Along the trail, you will find various indigenous plants, including the Pitcher plant. To protect the plants from visitors, a visitor information center, wooden steps, and bridges were built, among other facilities.

Also, just to let you know that Jeju Wetland requires one to be generally fit, one who can climb stairways and steps to move up and down.
