'Nokkome' means 'high mountain,' and 'Jogeun' is the Jeju dialect for 'small.' Jogeun Nokkome Oreum is a place where you can enjoy both forest paths and the volcanic cone. Nokkome Oreum consists of Jogeun Nokkome Oreum and Keun Nokkome Oreum; since they are located side by side, they are also called 'Brother Oreums.' While the name might suggest it is easy to climb, Jogeun Nokkome Oreum is not an easy ascent. There are several routes to climb Jogeun Nokkome Oreum, passing through Gwetmul Oreum and Keun Nokkome Oreum. While climbing all three oreums is an option, it can be physically demanding, so it is recommended to visit about two. The ridge of the Jogeun Nokkome crater is a lush, natural forest. Once you reach the summit, you can enjoy wide-open views along with a vista of Keun Nokkome Oreum located on the opposite side.
