Soesokkak Estuary Entrance, Bus stop in Seogwipo-si, Jeju Island, South Korea
쇠소깍 입구 is a bus stop in Seogwipo-si, on Jeju Island, South Korea, positioned at the entrance to the Soesokkak natural area. It marks the point where visitors arriving by public transport leave the bus to reach the nearby valley on foot.
The stop was established as bus routes expanded on Jeju to connect visitors with natural sites along the southern coast. Soesokkak, the area it serves, was historically considered a sacred place where local rituals were held.
The stop takes its name from Soesokkak, the natural site it serves, whose name comes from the Jeju dialect. In that dialect, the words refer roughly to a pool at the end of a valley shaped like a resting ox.
Buses on the routes serving this stop run at regular intervals during the day, so checking the timetable beforehand is a good idea. From the stop, the natural area is reachable on foot along a flat, easy path.
The stop sits at the meeting point of two Jeju Olle trail sections, routes 5 and 6, which means a good share of passengers here are long-distance hikers rather than day visitors. This gives the stop a slightly different character compared to other stops near tourist sites.
