Oedolgae Rock
외돌개
A 20-meter sea stack standing alone off Seogwipo, known as the "General Rock," and the starting point of Olle Trail Route 7.
Oedolgae is a lava column formed by volcanic eruptions about 1.5 million years ago. Eroded by the waves, it stands alone in the sea, about 20 meters tall, with pine trees growing on its top. A legend holds that General Choe Yeong, in the late Goryeo period, disguised the rock as a great warrior to frighten away enemy troops, which is why it is also called the "General Rock." Another legend tells of a fisherman's wife who waited for him so long she turned into stone. Sea cliff trails through the pine forest offer views from many angles, and the site connects with Olle Trail Route 7. Admission is free. It is about a 10-minute taxi ride from downtown Seogwipo, and parking is free.
