Join us for a 4 day long weekend in the middle of summer in two of the gnarliest and in our opinion best locations to ride in both Czech Republic and over the border in Poland – Rychlebske Stezky & Czarna Gora. Added to it we can stop by in one of the close-by parks like Kouty, Dolni Morava or Peklak as a bonus on the way home. We have combined the two main destinations as they are less than an hour away from each other, one is pedal-only and the other is lift-assisted all the way to the top so your legs get a day or two of rest from pushing the pedals. There’s no upper limit for the group size as we can add guides/delegates if additional people want to join easily.
As part of the package you will have accommodation, guiding for the whole time as well as entry to the parks and lifts (where applicable). Transportation is optional, otherwise we will connect participants to find a seat in the car and place on the bike rack. Please see the Included tab for more details. Below you can find info on the main areas we will ride.
Czarna Gora
Czarna Gora or the Black Mountain as a bike park destination has been known in the past mainly for its downhill focus, as the first tracks here are very challenging with a heap of big obstacles, especially in its natural form – rocks and roots paired with often very steep (DH-style) terrain and big man-made jumps on the lower sections. However, in recent years, the resort has begun to transform into a more enduro-friendly location and now boasts 15 trails of various difficulties (mostly red & black diamond) with about 1.8-2km downhill. What you can expect is a lot of routes snaking around throughout the whole mountain of Czarna Gora. On top almost all of the trails feature rocks of every size and shape. Aside of Milky Way and the short jump & dirt trails on the small lift all of the trails are quite difficult and therefore are recommended to upper intermediate to advanced riders. You won’t find a smooth stretch of trail for longer than a few meters. For lovers of enduro and technical riding this is paradise, but we do not recommend going here when it rains, because then biking changes into scooting instead.
Rychleby
Rychlebské Stezky are by far the most famous MTB location in Czech republic and are also one of the most unique places to ride in Europe. During the riding weekend we will explore the best that Rychlebské trails have to offer. There are 14 trails made of boulders and stones of all sizes and shapes, each trail is literally laid out by stone and on some such as on Obelix, you will hardly touch “ordinary” soil. Some boulders as the one on the T-Rys reaches the dimensions of a bus, so it is not only an interesting ride, but also a beautiful visual experience, as the trails look like a masterwork of art. In case it rains, it doesn’t matter, as the stones here, thanks to their unique structure, have great grip even when wet.
Bonus Park
As a bonus on the last day we can make a stop in one of the smaller bike parks along the way home – Kouty, Dolni Morava, Kopřivná or Peklák. We will see whether we still want to ride one of the two main destinations or instead look at one of the previously mentioned bike parks, which are also a lot of fun.
We will be accommodated close by for the 3 nights so that we don’t have to move around and maximise the time on the trails. In both cases there are jump and skill parks as well as a bike service and shop at the HQ, so there should be no problem dealing with an issue on the bike. Also there are restaurants in each location so we won’t have to go far for food or drinks during and after the riding.
If you’re interested to learn more check out the additional tabs for details or reach out to us directly and we will try to answer all your questions.
See you on the trails!
Difficulty
Both Czarna Gora and Rychlebské Stezky are definitely suitable for more advanced riders – at least upper intermediate, as rocks all around us increase the risk of injury in the event of a fall. On the other hand, it is also largely about psychology as the trails are well-built and once you get used to riding on them, they are really relatively comfortable to ride. However, this trip is ideal for those who like technical riding, as it is more or less the definition of this trip and it is true that the difficulty level is between red to black on most trails. Balance skills are also very important, especially in the sections where the stones are placed higher above the ground, as well as the ability to lift the front and rear wheel when needed and going through uneven surfaces – you guess it – over rocks mostly. On the other hand Czarna Gora and most of its red enduro trails are mostly covered by roots and esp. in the upper sections with large stones. It tends to be wet even if it isn’t raining for a while so expect to be ready to put your foot down as things tend to get slippery. Aside of DH Torpeda right underneath the lift the trails are not as steep and there are not that many “critical” sections to be aware of. Both of these places are a pure joy for natural technical riding lowers that love to dive into roots, rocks and steep sections.
As part of the booking process, we will contact the individual riders and check their abilities. If you are looking for what you can compare with riding in Rychleby, then it is really difficult because they are so unique. Then again you could compare it to Kameňák trail in Bratislava, which is similar to some extent, some trails in Slanské vrchy, or perhaps part of the trails in Záruby.
