Ulleungdo Lighthouse, sometimes called Taeha Lighthouse, was first lit in 1958 as a guiding light for boats coming to and from Ulleungdo Island. The lighthouse is a round, white concrete structure rising 7.6 meters high. With a new prisim light placed in 2003, the lighthouse can reach as far as 50 kilometers away. The hiking trail up to the lighthouse is a natural, narrow path among groves of trees. The gentle slope is surrounded by uniquely shaped cliffs, so it is a popular hiking course for tourists.

Taeha Coastal Trail can be reached by crossing the pedastrian bridge next to Hwangtogul Cave. While crossing the bridge, visitors can enjoy murals of Taeha Village and a photo zone. Taeha Coastal Trail is made up of trachyte and agglomerate rocks, and boasts beautiful coastal scenery due to the unique topography eroded by the wind. It is also where one can observe tafoni, a honeycomb-shaped rocks that weathered by the reaction of salts contained in sea breezes.
By taking the Taeha Hyangmok Tour Monorail for about 6 minutes and walking along the trail for about 20 minutes, visitors will reach Ulleungdo Lighthouse (Taeha Lighthouse) and the Hyangmok Geo Skywalk.

Hakpo Coast (학포해안 (울릉도, 독도 국가지질공원))

Hakpo is known for its beautiful coast as well as the remains that record the frontier history of Ulleungdo Island. There are agglomerate, tuff, and trachyte layers along the Hakpo Coast. The relatively hard trachyte layer that cannot be eroded by waves and remains has formed a cape (a large piece of land sticking out into the sea), while the agglomerate and tuff layers, which are subject to weathering and erosion, have formed a bay. Additionally, sea cliffs are found along the coast. As the lower part of the vertical columnar joints erodes, the upper part of the cliff collapses due to gravity, creating a steep cliff as the process is repeated. Visitors can also enjoy the atmosphere of Hakpo at the nearby Hakpo Campground.

Healing Stay Kosmos is located at the edge of a cliff next to Songgotsan Mountain in Ulleungdo Island. The exterior is in a spiral shape, reflecting the trajectories of the sun and moon. The six-vault structure, which extends outward in a spiral shape from the center of the building, is the most essential element—each of the vaults form an independent space inside. Due to the spiral shapes, the entrance to the vaults temporarily blocks the landscape outside; however, as the guest enters further into the vault, the view to the surrounding landscape gradually opens up, and each vault reveals a unique view. This allows every guest to naturally immerse themselves into the hotel’s beautiful architecture and the surrounding landscape. The hotel also observes strict hygiene and disinfection to ensure the safety and convenience of guests. The maintains the cleanliness of every room and bedding every day. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the hotel staff regularly ventilate and disinfect all facilities and a designated disinfection and quarantine manager strictly monitors the staff’s compliance with the social distancing manual. The hotel also provides a complimentary healing kit, which includes a hand sanitizer (as well as a trekking map and specialty snacks from Ulleongdo Island), to all guests.

Originally a caldera formed on the northern Seonginbong Peak, Nari Basin is the only flatland on Ulleungdo Island. The lava flow from the volcanic eruption created two other craters, which were turned into Nari Village in the northeast and Albong Village, now uninhabited, in the northwest. Records were found that the island was inhabited since the Usan-guk period, but the islanders had to move out of the island in the earlier Joseon period until a new settlement policy was enforced later on.
