Heavy downpours that occurred a couple weeks ago struck some mountain villages in the northern Yeongcheon 영천. While cycling on a sunny hot weekend, could find the debris left behind along the stream and lakeside. Bohyunsan(Mt. Bohyun) optical astronomy observatory 보현산 천문대 stands atop Mt. Bohyun which can be looked up from the road across the nearby southern village. This mountain has attracted those who are interested in trekking and cycling. The trail is paved in a zigzag pattern from the bottom to the top around the observatory.
Cycling in the remote area makes us more refreshed even if sometimes tried to pass in busy traffic in mountain areas and had to go through tunnels with accident risk as well. On the way to the starting point, Whanam township 화남면, barely managed to ride up a short steep mountain pass between Gigye 기계 and Imgo 임고 at maximum effort.
