At 800 years old and reaching 25 m (82 ft), the world's oldest nutmeg tree--“Ancestor tree of the Bija trees”--grows in the green oasis of Bijarim Forest. The evergreen forest contains around 2800 nutmeg trees between 500-800 years old, with their nutmeg known for its beneficial effect on the immune system. Walk around the picturesque pathways and breathe the fresh air, or sit on the park's benches and large rocks, enjoying the vista of rich treetops spreading like spider's webs. Feel the soothing ambiance and energizing power of the beautiful forest.

I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful walk and scenery. The trails can get a little slippery when wet with snow, but the environment was magical.

* Note: if you're driving in Jeju, you should download the Naver maps that has english navigations guidance available; google maps does not provide navigation in Korea. If you require driving tips/guide in jeju, go to my profile and look for my review for lotte rent a car auto house. * To be very frank, this forest is just like another other forest. However it has a history that Kings of jeju use to go there to breathe in the air and feel revitalise. I would recommend here only if you have ran out of attractions to visit in jeju.

Nice place to walk in Jeju island. It is almost flat land , so walking is not difficult here for elder people.
-
Probably a lot prettier in late fall when the leaves turn red. There is an entrance fee of 4000 won for adults.

I really liked this forest because it's a nice, relaxing walk in a beautiful surrounding among trees that are hundreds of years old. It's very cheap admission (I think around 2,000 won for adults) and takes about an hour to an hour and a half to walk through. The total course is 3.2km if you walk the whole route. It's a very easy walk, but some parts are loose rocks, so wear appropriate foot wear.
