Healing Stay Kosmos is located at the edge of a cliff next to Songgotsan Mountain in Ulleungdo Island. The exterior is in a spiral shape, reflecting the trajectories of the sun and moon. The six-vault structure, which extends outward in a spiral shape from the center of the building, is the most essential element—each of the vaults form an independent space inside. Due to the spiral shapes, the entrance to the vaults temporarily blocks the landscape outside; however, as the guest enters further into the vault, the view to the surrounding landscape gradually opens up, and each vault reveals a unique view. This allows every guest to naturally immerse themselves into the hotel’s beautiful architecture and the surrounding landscape. The hotel also observes strict hygiene and disinfection to ensure the safety and convenience of guests. The maintains the cleanliness of every room and bedding every day. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the hotel staff regularly ventilate and disinfect all facilities and a designated disinfection and quarantine manager strictly monitors the staff’s compliance with the social distancing manual. The hotel also provides a complimentary healing kit, which includes a hand sanitizer (as well as a trekking map and specialty snacks from Ulleongdo Island), to all guests.

Elephant Rock is situated approximately 500 meters off the northern coast of Ulleungdo Island and rises to a x_height of 50 meters. It derives its name from its remarkable resemblance to an elephant. This distinctive formation resulted from lava solidifying after a volcanic eruption, with the unique gap between what appears to be the elephant's trunk and its body sculpted over time by the relentless action of the waves.

Originally a caldera formed on the northern Seonginbong Peak, Nari Basin is the only flatland on Ulleungdo Island. The lava flow from the volcanic eruption created two other craters, which were turned into Nari Village in the northeast and Albong Village, now uninhabited, in the northwest. Records were found that the island was inhabited since the Usan-guk period, but the islanders had to move out of the island in the earlier Joseon period until a new settlement policy was enforced later on.

The sides of the stacks are dotted with many holes, resembling honeycomb. The rocks name, meaning "Three Hevenly Maiden Rocks," comes from a myth that three heavenly maidens were so enraptured by the beauty of Ulleungdo that they missed their curfew to return to heaven and were thereby punished by being turned to stone.

5.7 Km 0 2024-03-29

Hakpo is known for its beautiful coast as well as the remains that record the frontier history of Ulleungdo Island. There are agglomerate, tuff, and trachyte layers along the Hakpo Coast. The relatively hard trachyte layer that cannot be eroded by waves and remains has formed a cape (a large piece of land sticking out into the sea), while the agglomerate and tuff layers, which are subject to weathering and erosion, have formed a bay. Additionally, sea cliffs are found along the coast. As the lower part of the vertical columnar joints erodes, the upper part of the cliff collapses due to gravity, creating a steep cliff as the process is repeated. Visitors can also enjoy the atmosphere of Hakpo at the nearby Hakpo Campground.
