Choosing a trail and return point at Nopeun Oreum Volcanic Cone

The official oreum inventory lists Nopeun Oreum Volcanic Cone at 405.3m above sea level, with a relative height of 175m from the surrounding ground to the summit. Neither figure is the hiking distance or the actual length of the ascent; consider them alongside the climbs and descents on your chosen trail.

This oreum has steep slopes, so a low relative-height figure should not be used to describe it to beginners as a level walk. Do not enter ranch enclosures or approach the animals.

What to consider when walking Nopeun Oreum Volcanic Cone with others

At Nopeun Oreum Volcanic Cone, plan to observe the scenery on a daytime walk rather than explore unlit ridges at night. In rain, strong winds or weather alerts, recheck conditions at the entrance and turn back after a short permitted section if needed.
