Beautiful Autumn View of Malti Mountain Pass

#fallingseason Malti Mountain Pass (말티재) This mountain with its 10 switchback corners has a special place in my heart. When I first got into long distance cycling, this was one of my favorite places to go. What might surprise you is that I enjoyed climbing it more than going down. However, it would eventually be closed to the public as they reinvigorated the area and installed a rest stop at the top. The 20m tall Matlijae Observatory opened in 2020 and overs a bird's eye view of the mountain slope. It seems to be a popular place for drone fliers and photographers at this time of year. It is highly recommended to visit after hiking at Songrisan or visiting Beopjusa Temple. It is said that this pass was first paved during the Goryeo Taejo Dynasty by laying stones through until the Joseon Dynasty. King Sejogave this pass its name when he stopped here. Malti means big pass.For locations is San 4-14, Jangjae-ri, Jangan-myeon, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.
