Description
The Virgin Forest means the forest that has never been damaged, or disturbed by human beings for a long time. This Virgin Forest was formed around the top of Seonginbong Peak. It has many rare plants and trees such as Siebold Hemlock and Engler’s Beech which are found only in Ulleungdo Island. The virgin forest in Seonginbong Peak has been preserved well because there are not many people living or visiting there. However, the Virgin Forest is in danger of being damaged because of the road construction and lots of visitors in Ulleungdo Island. The Virgin Forest on Seonginbong Peak, Ulleung is highly valued for its academic implications so it is designated and protected as a Natural Monument.
