Stage 7.1 begins at the World Cup Stadium, 6km and a $6 taxi ride from Seogwipo. The trail passes through a built up area, enters the forest and climbs 370 meters to the top of Gogeunsan Oreum. The descent back to the sea goes via Hanon volcanic crater, the largest in Asia.
Another foggy/hazy day; a pity because there would have been some nice vistas.
