Ulleungdo’s Dolomites, Wittong Gumi Village

Ulleungdo is a volcanic island
Unlike Jeju Island, which is gentle
It is composed of sea cliffs and rugged mountainous terrain.
The drive course along the coastal road is well done.

A little bit inland
You can enjoy the natural environment.

In Tonggumi Village, southwest of Ulleungdo
If you go up a little inland along the sloping road,
A landscape not enviable of the Dolomites appears.

All along the road are vegetable fields.
I felt like I was seeing a lush green primeval forest.
There is no such thing as a minister!

* Safe driving is essential as it is a narrow and sloping road!
* It is not a tourist destination as it is a neighborhood where residents live.
