Course Overview
This approximately 22 km drive follows the approach road to Mungyeong Saejae Provincial Park, the historic mountain pass that connected Seoul and the Yeongnam region during the Joseon Dynasty. Majestic mountains rise on both sides of the road.
While vehicles cannot enter the pass itself, the approach road and surrounding routes form the core driving experience. The Open Set filming location recreates a Joseon-era village, and Mungyeong omija (schisandra berry) beverages are a local specialty.
