Luge, also called a land sled, is a non-powered leisure sport that has been transformed into an all-season sled by attaching wheels to one of the sled events in the Winter Olympics. You can enjoy the cool wind while controlling the speed on the luge with the help of gravity without any additional manipulation. A dynamic course was completed by adding various theme sections to the existing road, forest, and nature in the Jeonjae-Ucheon-myeon Owon-ri section of National Road No. 42. As a single course, it is 2.4 kilometers long, the longest in the world, and it is not an artificially twisted S-shaped course, but a course created using actual roads.
