도마령 · Chungbuk · Palaces & heritage

Domaryeong Pass is an 800 m-long pass at the foot of Minjujisan Mountain, connecting the Hwanggang-myeon area of Yeongdong-gun with Muju. The name of the pass, "Doma," refers to how a general with a sword (do) had crossed over the pass on a horse (ma) in the past. This curving road is quite famous as a destination for drives. One can get a bird’s-eye view of the pass and the curving road from the Sangyongjeong Pavilion at the top of the pass.
