Explanation
The Hoengseong Luge offers visitors the chance to ride a luge, descending a sloped course powered by gravity while controlling speed and direction with a handle and brakes. The facility was developed by repurposing a section of the old Gwandong Road, which once connected Seoul and Gangneung during the Joseon Dynasty before its closure following the construction of a new tunnel along what is now National Highway 42. Rather than undergoing large-scale development, the site has been carefully maintained to preserve the original road and surrounding natural environment, and is operated directly by the local government. The course spans the section from Jeonjae in Hoengseong to Owon-ri in Ucheon-myeon, forming a single 2.4-kilometer track that runs through forested terrain. Unlike artificially designed luge tracks, the course follows an actual roadway, offering a riding experience that closely resembles real driving.
