Badabuchaegil is a trekking course, which gives you an opportunity to explore the East coastal terrace formed by diastrophism over 2 million years ago. The terrace was designated as Korean Natural Monument 437.
The shape of the big rock is like a fan and ‘buchae’ means a fan in Korean, so it was named ‘Badabuchaegil’.

It is said Badabuchae-gil used to be a trail for military operations and civilians were not allowed to access it before, but recently it has been opened to the public. It is banned from taking pictures or videos of military facilities while passing the areas.
