It's been raining on and off all day. Planned to go cycling in spite of the rain, drove to Ugok 우곡 village, parked at the township office and started cycling southwards in the clockwise direction.
Ugok primary school opened in 1933 has 33 students and 10 teachers now. Out of all the students, only one is in the 6th grade(12 years old). The number of students has dropped significantly, as it decreased in other schools across the nation. The image on the right shows the Nakdong river and riverside village. The rain started picking up after arriving at the river bank. Looking back southwards, a bridge across the river spanned the cycling route.
On the way to Goryeong 고령 from Deokgok 덕곡, approached the 3-way intersection. Goryeong is straight ahead, and proceeded northwards uphill along the road and crossed a mountain pass down to Goryeong. Haeinsa 해인사 Buddhist temple lies around 39km away to the west.
