Nestled within the picturesque mountains of eastern Ulleungdo Island, Bongnaepokpo Falls stands as a majestic 30-meter high waterfall. Its formation traces back to the cooling of rocks following a volcanic eruption. This lush region is richly wooded, offering a delightful opportunity for a forest bathing during your hike. Moreover, the deck situated just beneath the waterfall serves as an ideal spot for capturing stunning photographs. Even in the heat of summer, the area remains pleasantly cool, thanks to the gentle breeze that naturally flows through the openings.

Turtle Rock was given its name for its rock formation that resembles the shape of turtles climbing out to the rock. The Turtle Rock is a volcanic rock that formed from the molten lava from Ulleungdo Island's early volcanic activity. Solidified lava flow as well as chilled margins can still be seen along the rock's slope. The western cliff of the rock is Tonggumi Village, where it serves as a home to wild juniper trees. On the northwestern side of the rock is Daepunggam Village, also a natural habitat for wild juniper trees. Both sites were designated as Natural Monuments for their significance. The juniper trees here are known to have a slower growth rate than those under normal condition due to rough winds.

Samseonam Rocks is comprised of three rock pillars off the northern coast of beautiful Ulleungdo Island. The sea stacks were formed by waves breaking down a block of columner joints over time, leaving the three remaing stacks behind. The sides of the stacks are dotted with many holes, resembling honeycomb. The rocks name, meaning "Three Hevenly Maiden Rocks," comes from a myth that three heavenly maidens were so enraptured by the beauty of Ulleungdo that they missed their curfew to return to heaven and were thereby punished by being turned to stone.
