long distance walks in Korea

[Sitkapilgrim]

I'm looking for information on long walks in Korea. I've read about the Jeju-olle trail and the Haepang trail, with information on each stage, suitable for multiple day hikes. I'm looking for trail information which includes accommodation options, for an experience similar to the many Caminos of Europe.

I would be interested if you receive any responses.

An interesting book to read, although written in the late 1980s and so a bit dated, is Korea: A Walk through the Land of Miracles by Simon Winchester. Winchester is a great nonfiction writer, and I think this may have been his first book. I found it fascinating.

Yes I knew about this thread, but I see nothing about accommodation. Perhaps I am missing something? Perhaps the Korean language website has the type of information I am seeking, but I am linguistically limited. What I am really looking for is a blog by someone who has walked a long-distance trail in Korea with information on where they slept
(?camping, ?accommodation) or a website that lists accommodation suitable for long distance walkers.

Thank you, MesaWalker, for the book idea. I've ordered it. Even though it's old, it should be a fun read.

We walked the Jeju-olle in 2016. Here's our daily blog with the places we stayed. Hop it helps. https://pamnjeff.com/JejuOlle/

Thanks ever so much. This is just the sort of thing I've been searching for. And such glorious photos. Thank you. Thank you. I was in Korea for the centennial celebration of the March 1st Independence Movement in 2019 and have been thinking about returning ever since. Walking is my preferred way to see a country, so this could be perfect for me. Now, just to learn some Korean first.
