Hanmoe Park Kyungwon Talent Donation Production

On May 1st, Ulleung-gun, Gyeongbuk installed a marker stone at the summit of Gitdaebong (605.6m) located in Nari, Buk-myeon.

Ulleungdo Gitdaebong Summit Marker Stone.

The Gitdaebong hiking trail was established in 2016. Although it is not higher than Seonginbong, the summit boasts an open view where Seonginbong, Nari, Pyeongri, Hyeonpo, and Chusan areas can all be seen, making it a popular spot for many residents and tourists.

The Gitdaebong summit marker stone was made in 2018 using a stone that fell from Gadubong to the roadside of the circular road (0.9m wide, 1.6m tall, weighing 1.4 tons). The inscription on the marker was created through the talent donation of Park Kyungwon Hanmoe, the director of Yerimwon and a teacher at the Ulleung Calligraphy Association, adding special significance.

In Ulleung-gun, there are many peaks such as Hyeongjebong, Maljandeung, and Mireuksan following Seonginbong, but the Gitdaebong summit marker installed this time is the second one after the Seonginbong marker, expected to contribute to the revitalization of forest tourism.

Nam Hang-kwon, the county governor, said, “The installation of the Gitdaebong summit marker is expected to serve as a good guide for tourists visiting Gitdaebong. We will strive to discover and open new hiking trails in preparation for the opening of Ulleung Airport.”
