Trip recommendations

Singletrails are designed for downhill mountain biking. They consist of one-way narrow forest paths and tracks, specially adapted for the dynamic, more or less demanding, fast ride of experienced bikers. You will find both natural and artificial obstacles that require technical skills and give adrenaline to the ride on the singletrails.

THE SKALKA TRAIL

Length: 2,6 km

Elevation: 340 m

Difficulty: high

Bike Types: DH, AM, XC, Fat tyres, E-bike

Surface: clay, rocks

This singletrack with its descending profile belongs to the challenging ones. It is equipped both with the natural and the artificial obstacles. It will definitely be loved by abundantly experienced riders with technical skills. You will also gain speed on the downhill mountain bike track, which rises the difficulty. Your skills will be tested by switchbacks, drop-offs, and larger rocks. There is a safer detour on the right side in the first half of the track, above the first pavilion. The entire descent ends at the second wooden pavilion, where you continue smoothly towards the exit path to the yellow cycling trail (1.5 km) and the Drakšiar valley (“Rúry”) by a slight descent to the left.

THE LAZNÁ TRAIL

Length: 1,9 km

Elevation: 320 m

Difficulty: medium

Bike Types: DH, AM, XC, Fat tyres, E-bike

Surface: clay

This singletrail is of medium difficulty with a profile characterized by almost continuous descent. You will find mainly natural obstacles with lots of switchbacks, and small drops that will perfectly test your riding skills. The trail ends in the Lazná valley, where it merges with the yellow cycling trail, which runs parallel to the hiking trail to the “Horné Lazy” observation tower and the fallow deer park, so ride safely and respect hikers, please.

Which rules should be respected on the trails?

• The trails are one-way only, which means you should only ride in the indicated direction.
• Adapt your skills and abilities to the ride, learn about the difficulty of individual trails in advance. Also check the technical condition of your bike before you ride it.
• Stop only at suitable and clear places, step aside and leave the trail immediately.
• Don't ride alone. Wear appropriate clothing and equipment, have a mobile phone with charged battery with you. Always wear a safety helmet. Gloves, elbow and knee protectors are also recommended.
• Keep sufficient distance in the group to be always able to react on time.
• Ride carefully on wet or unstable surfaces.
• Ride inside of the sidetrail to prevent its destruction. Wooden structures and tree roots can be slippery, so ride carefully over them, or get off your bike and cross them walking.
• Respect the principles of environmental and nature protection and do not litter.
• Respect other trail users, hikers have priority at points where hiking trails and singletrails cross!
• Follow the signs, respect the opening hours and any potential closures of singletrails.
• Be sure to respect the (National Park) NAPANT rules for visitors, and do not deviate from lands lining the singletrails.
• Please note you always ride at your own risk!

We ask all tourists not to enter the singletrail under any circumstances, and never use them as hiking trails. There is a high risk of injury and collision with downhill bike riders who cannot avoid tourists at high speeds!
