The Singletrack Nowa Ruda is an MTB trail complex officially opened just 2 days ago. I already visited it yesterday and was really impressed! These are not just easy singletracks for beginners. The trail creators also took care of more experienced riders.

I won’t say it’s the best, because I haven’t gotten to know all the spots in Poland yet, but it’s definitely one of the best. On Ślęża and the neighboring lower Radunia, there are over 20 trails in total. Some are so well-built and so full of features that they can compete with the best trails in bike parks.
The difficulty level of MTB trails is marked with colors, similarly to ski slopes. So we have green, blue, red and black trails. But what does that really mean? How easy are green trails? What can you expect on blue and red ones and how difficult are black ones? The answer to these questions is not simple.
In Wisła and the surrounding area there are several bike parks. Nowa Osada is less crowded than the most popular ones, so even on weekends you can ride here without long queues.
The Czechs know how to build interesting trails! Trutnov Trails are routes that mostly run through rocky terrain, which has been used to create interesting, often challenging features. However, there is no shortage of smooth, flowy sections with perfect berms, and the wide variety of trail difficulties means that everyone can find something for themselves.
Magnetic pedals are designed as a compromise between flat pedals and clipless (SPD) pedals. They are supposed to keep your feet secure on descents while still allowing easy release. It sounded exactly like what I needed.
Spanish bike park 4 Riders is a spot for those who feel confident on fast, flow trails with big jumps. Although there is a blue trail in the bike park, I personally wasn’t impressed with this location.
Bike Resort Peklák is a Czech bike park with a T-bar lift and trails that are on average about 1 km long. At first glance it might sound like a small, unimportant spot not worth visiting, but in reality it’s a solid bike park with interesting trails of various styles and difficulty levels.
Bike Park Kasina, 50 km from the center of Kraków, is a place that will surely appeal to many bikers. Here, both those who like flow trails and those who prefer natural ones will find something for themselves. Both less and more experienced riders.
Rabka Trails on Krzywoń Mountain consists of several trails, most of which are at the red level, meaning they are suitable for intermediate riders. A convenient uphill trail and interesting routes make this a place I want to return to.
