Nejaké popadané konáre a v polovičke aj zabudnuté stromy po ťažbe, ale zjazdné bez problémov. Zopár veľkých kaluží, ktoré sa dajú...

      Going uphill, i did not understand why it is a black trail. Till the last few meters, where is a climb on the rocks to the top of the mountain. I saw a few pedal marks, but I think most of the riders would not start from the top, as like me.
      Very nice trail, with rocks and a few trees across, that you can get around or jump.
      It's a marked tourist trail, so be careful, you can easily hit a whole family!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
