The straight version of this popular trail, much steeper and rougher than the marked version. It's very popular among the young riders in Braşov. It has several rock gardens, steep section and small-sized drops which may not always be rollable. Plenty of line options as well, being generally pretty wide. Perfect for downhill training.

This trail is unsanctioned.
