There are few places in Poland where you can enjoy 4-7 km descents. However, it is possible in Szczyrk, where the blue and red trails are as long as the trails in the Alpine bike parks.

Pasmo Rowerowe Olbrzymy (Giants Biking Trails) are singletracks in the Karkonosze Mountains, characterized by a lot of rocks, both on descents and uphill sections. Opinions about these biking routes vary. Some people are delighted with them, while others complain that there is no “flow”, that in some places it is impossible to ride up and that in general it is constantly going up. So is it worth visiting?
Bike Park Soszów is a new MTB spot, built in 2023. It offers 7 lines, including two flow trails, full of berms and five enduro trails, full of roots. Together ca. 6,5 km of trails.
Skolnity is a small bike park in Wisła with three flow trails of varying difficulty. Labeled as green, blue and red, but I would say it’s green, red and black. Bikers who like to jump several meters will definitely have fun there.
Poland has plenty of great bicycle trails. If you plan to visit Poland by bike, bicycle terminology can be useful. The dictionary contains only some words now, but I will add more.
Actually, “bike park” – in quotation marks, because there is no bike lift there, but there are cars with trailers for bicycles, thanks to which you can enjoy the descents without tiring yourself on the uphill sections. A great place for intermediate bikers, but beginners and more experienced riders will also find something for themselves there.
Trailcenter Rabenberg is a singletrack network near the Czech border. The trails have a natural character and are mostly easy. If you just want to ride a bike in the hills, I recommend it, but don’t expect too much ;)
Merzouga is a small village near the Erg Chebbi desert, which is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Morocco. There you can, among others: ride camels, spend the night in tents in the desert, ride over the dunes in an off-road car or try sandboarding, a desert version of snowboarding. This last one sounded the most interesting to me.
The mountains are beautiful in winter, but if we do not prepare properly for the hike, it may become a torment rather than a pleasure. I also know this from my own experience ;)
If you like long, fast, flow trails, you must visit Klínovec in the Czech Republic. I was especially delighted with the eight-kilometer Rubin trail. However, there are also plenty of attractions for lovers of natural trails.
