The terminal is located at the southernmost tip of the Korean peninsula, traditionally referred to as 'Ttangkkeut'.
The route reaches an altitude of roughly 100 meters above sea level at the Sajabong Peak station.
The monorail design utilizes an electric-powered gear system to safely ascend the 30-degree slope.
From the observatory deck at the top, visitors can see islands as far as Bogil-do and Jeju-do on clear days.
The monorail track is built directly into the hillside, minimizing forest destruction compared to a paved road.
The Ttangkkeut Monorail is a transport system serving the Ttangkkeut Observatory in Haenam-gun, the southernmost point of the Korean mainland. The line travels approximately 395 meters from the base station to the top of Sajabong Peak. It overcomes a significant incline, providing a shortcut to the Ttangkkeut Observatory and the Ttangkkeut Sign. The monorail cars are glass-enclosed, offering panoramic views of the Dadohae (archipelago) islands and the South Sea. It operates as the primary tourist infrastructure to reach the summit without climbing the steep pedestrian trail. The peak features an observatory with a deck for watching both sunrise and sunset, a unique geographical feature of the location. The attraction is situated within the Ttangkkeut Tourist Site, a designated area celebrating the 'end of the land'.

Visit on a weekday if possible, as the monorail experiences high volume and long queues during weekends and public holidays.
Check local weather reports for visibility, as heavy sea fog can frequently obscure the ocean views from the summit.
Walk the pedestrian path back down to the base to experience the coastal forest if your mobility allows.
Avoid relying on the monorail during inclement weather, as service is often suspended due to high winds or heavy rain.
Closed on the first Monday of every month for maintenance.
