Highlights
The Saejae Bicycle Path is one of the shortest (100 km) certification paths. However, it offers plenty of scenic mountain vistas and historic treasures. Let’s explore the most notable ones.
Tangeumdae Park (탄금대; map) sits on Daemun Mountain (대문산; map; 107 m) where the South Han River and Dal Stream (달천; Dalcheon) converge in downtown Chungju City.
The park’s site gained fame for two historical events.
Sujupal Peaks (수주팔봉; map; Sujupalbong) is a rock wall topped with stony spires on the Dal Stream (달천; Dalcheon) south of downtown Chungju.
Stand on the opposite banks of the stream and gaze at Sujupal Peaks. From the rocky ridge, rise eight or “pal” (팔) peaks. Hence, “Sujupal Peaks (수주팔봉).”
Suanbo Hot Springs (수안보 온천; map) lies in Suanbo Township (수안보면; map) on the bottom edge of Chungju City (충주시; map).
Let’s explore the town and its main attraction, the ancient hot springs bubbling up from nearby mountains.
