About the trail
Continuously being developed and expanded, the trail now stretches over 15 kilometres and includes more than 550 metres of altitude gain. It is well signposted and colour-coded according to difficulty level, so you will not lose your way.
There are three distinct routes of varying difficulty. The main blue trail is 10 kilometres long with 250 metres of altitude gain. This route is suitable for most riders—anyone with a mountain bike should be able to complete it, although the terrain still offers a good challenge. It is ideal for beginners or families introducing their children to mountain biking.
Branching off from the blue route are two additional loops: the red and the black. These are more demanding, with the black loop being the most technically difficult. It includes steep descents and particularly tricky sections that can pose a risk to less experienced riders. Stay alert and adapt your speed to suit the conditions.
Both the red and black loops reconnect with the main blue trail.
