Jeju Island has been a favorite vacation
spot among Koreans for decades.
ex> The resort is a popular vacation
spot for families.
There is a new reason many more people visit the island these days. Jeju Island has been boasting what’s called Olle paths. These are natural hiking trails that go around the whole island.
* go around: ~주위를 돌다
ex> We went around the whole
park, which took us two hours.
The trails pass through forests, mountains, and beaches.
ex> The bus passes through the
downtown area.
These hidden paths were opened to the public in Sep. of 2007 and new trails have been added every year.
ex> The park will be opened to the
public next month.
There are roughly 21 paths you can
choose from altogether. Each trail
takes several hours to hike. Some of
these paths lead to Jeju’s charming local villages.
ex> Each local village has its
own custom.
In the local Jeju dialect, Olle was
originally referred to the narrow path
between the street and one’s doorstep.
