It has been about one year since cycled around Hapcheon 합천 lake. On the threshold of winter, started a short bike ride to get around the lake and Geochang 거창. Arrived at Geochang sports complex and started cycling east to get close to the lakeside. Geochang surrounded by three national parks has its own natural attractions like Suseungdae rock 수승대. In the morning, it was a bit chilly as in the last year.
Hwang river 황강 passing through Geochang drains into the Hapcheon lake on the north-west corner of the lake. The road along the river runs evenly east and is connected to the lakeside.
Besides, you can select another route between mountains and river valley to reach the lakeside from Geochang. To access this route, you should cross a mountain pass not easy as it seems. But for your sweat and toil you will be rewarded with beautiful views and scenic overlooks.
Large dam leads to submergence of the land area including bridge. An old bridge resurfaced as the lake was drained. There seemed to be two people fishing on the old broken bridge. The above photo was taken from the newly constructed bridge over the lake. In the picture at the top, you can view the new bridge from the other side.
