Bijarim Forest
비자림
A primeval forest of more than 2,800 centuries-old Korean nutmeg trees. Forest bathing along volcanic gravel paths makes it one of Jeju’s most healing forests.
Bijarim is a rare single-species Korean nutmeg forest in the world. About 2,800 trees, aged 500 to 800 years, cover about 450,000 square meters. It is a natural monument, and within the grove stands the “New Millennium Tree,” about 800 years old. Red volcanic gravel paths called “songseok” wind through the trees, and the loop trail is about 2.2 km, taking 1 to 1.5 hours to walk. Admission is about 3,000 won. Opening hours are about 09:00 to 18:00, with entry closing at 17:00. It is located in former Jwaeup and can be combined with Woljeongri Beach and Manjanggul Cave on the same day.
