Project Description
Bike park Dark side
MODERATE
Ideal for the day off, when you wish to ride more downhill than uphill. First ascent on top of Bellevue we do it in an old-fashioned way, on our own power to be grateful for all downhills that follow. The road up it is steep with some nice views on Drava Valley. We descend on a local trail all the way to mountain hut and take a break in the shadows of Pohorje forests. Rides that follow, we do it with cable car and enjoy descents of 3 different types of downhill in bike park and 2 natural routes. Bike park Maribor is one of UCI Mountain Bike World Cup stage. Choose a downhill route up to your skills and wishes!
