Saejae Bikeway

100 km

The one true climb of the whole cross-country route — over the Ihwaryeong Pass connecting the Han River watershed to the Nakdong River watershed. Steep, legendary, and the most talked-about section among riders.

Highlights

  • Ihwaryeong Pass — the toughest single climb on the national bike network
  • Historic Mungyeong Saejae area, a former Joseon-era mountain road
  • The certification center at the summit is a badge of honor to reach
