Oryukdo Skywalk | Attraction Guide | K-Travel Mate

The former name of Oryukdo Skywalk is 'Seungdumal.' Seungdumal was called 'Seungduma' because it looked like a saddle, which became Seungdumal, and local haenyeos and residents called it 'Jallokgae.' It is said that Seungdumal, longing for the sea, sequentially gave birth to six islands of Oryukdo, and the bulging part of Seungdumal became narrow, forming the hills of Seonchangnaru and the estuary. This place, Seungdumal, is also the boundary between the East Sea and the South Sea. Construction began on September 12, 2012, and opened on October 18, 2013, naming it ‘Oryukdo Skywalk’ to mean walking above the sky. The skywalk is a 15m horseshoe-shaped glass bridge made by installing steel beams 35m above the coastal cliff and connecting 24 glass panels. The floor glass is 55.49mm thick, specially made heavy-load bulletproof glass with four 12mm glass panels bonded with a bulletproof film, designed for safety. Through the transparent glass beneath your feet, the sight of waves hitting the cliff is dizzyingly thrilling. The sea in front of the skywalk shows beautiful and colorful shades at all times, making it a famous photo spot, and on clear days, it offers the closest view of Daemado.
