[Introduction of Gliderport]
Mt. Gubongsan gliderport has been used since 1991.
The 1st takeoff field (on the summit of 441 m
above the sea) that was firstly used is not often
used now, and the 2nd takeoff field (350 m above
the sea) has been used since January, 1994, and
is a main takeoff filed that has been used the
most until now.
Vehicles can be driven to the 2nd takeoff field,
and it takes around five minutes to go there,
and the real altitude difference from the takeoff
field is 160 m. After taking off, you can rise
up to the summit through a ridge flying from the
left ridge in most cases, and on days with good
winds, you can fly to Mt. Daeryongsan along the
ridge of the end skirt of Mt. Gubongsan. The height
of the summit of Mt. Daeryongsan is 899 m, and
since on the summit, there are military forces,
you had better not approach the summit closely.
