Seonginbong is the main peak of Ulleungdo's volcano. Its slopes are covered with primeval forest designated as a natural monument, home to tree species and wild mountain plants unique to the island. The most common route starts at Dodong, climbs to the summit, and then heads north down to Nari Basin, taking about 5 to 6 hours in total. Going only from Nari Basin and back takes about 4 hours. On clear days, the summit offers a 360-degree view of the entire island. The mountain trails are steep and slippery, so hiking boots are needed. After descending, you can catch a bus back from Nari Basin.
