Windy Hill (Baram-ui Eondeok)
바람의 언덕
A grassy hill facing the sea beside Dojangpo harbour on Geoje, with a Dutch-style windmill standing on the sea cliff. It is Geoje's most famous photo spot.
Windy Hill is a small hill jutting into the sea beside Dojangpo village in the south of Geoje Island. It gets its name from the strong sea winds through the seasons and the low grass covering its slopes. A Dutch-style windmill stands on the summit, facing the blue sea and the Haegeumgang rocks in the distance. The hill attracts many couples and photography enthusiasts, and several Korean dramas and variety shows have been filmed here. A wooden boardwalk loops around the hill in about 20 to 30 minutes, passing lookouts, camellia groves and rocky shoreline. Admission is free. Dojangpo harbour nearby also has boats to Oedo and Haegeumgang, so you can combine both in one morning or afternoon. Nearby, the Sinseondae sea cliff viewpoint is a 5-minute drive away, with spectacular rocky coastline scenery. Getting there: take a bus from the Geoje Old Town bus terminal, about 1 hour. Services are infrequent, so driving or taking a taxi is recommended. Note: the cliff edge is windy, so hold on to your hat and belongings. Parking fills up quickly at weekends, and the wooden boardwalk is slippery when wet.
