TrailPark Plešivec is a Czech bike park located near the German border, where riders who like steep, natural trails will have the best fun. However, enthusiasts of easy flow trails and rock gardens will also find something for themselves there.
Blue trail in Trail Park Plešivec
For beginners, there is one trail in the bike park on Plesivec – Helen, 5 km long. This is the longest trail in this bike park and most of the other lines connect to it at the end. This is a typical easy, flow trail, i.e. berms, rollers, a few tabletops. It didn’t impress me much, but it wasn’t bad either. A big plus is that in mid-September the trail was in very good condition. There were slight washboards in places, but compared to what I saw, for example, a month earlier in France, it was as good as new.
Red trails in Trail Park Plešivec
There are two red trails. Niki is 2.5 km long and quite diverse in nature. There are smooth berm turns and a lot of tables, but unfortunately most of them are on a flat section, so I wasn’t able to jump over them because my speed was too low. In addition, there are also a few short rock gardens and some steep descents.
Niki Enduro is a short (approx. 0.5 km) line that can be reached from the first part of the Niki trail or from the Daniela black trail. As the name suggests, this is an enduro trail.
Black trails in Trail Park Plešivec
There are most of them in this bike park. Let’s start with the Rock n Rolla trail. It is actually marked as red and black, but due to the tight rocky turns, in my opinion it is closer to black. The trail is approximately 1 km long and almost entirely runs through rock garden.
The remaining ones are steep, natural trails, approximately 1-2 km long. One of them is Easy Ella, which I managed to ride without a crash, but I walked my bike in several places ;)
The second, similar one is Daniela. I also walked my bike on it in several places, but anyway I didn’t manage without a crash ;)
Daniela has a fork at one point and if you turn left, the trail will soon end and you will reach the place where the Niki Enduro begins. However, when you turn right, you will bypass Niki Enduro and continue along the black trail. We chose the left side.
There is also Jelena Extreme, supposedly the most difficult, so I didn’t even want to try. Watch a video of a German who knows how to ride.
I spent one day in the bike park on Plesivec and I was satisfied, but I did not regret that it was only one day. It was nice to visit a new place, because I like exploring new trails, but actually all the trails were either too difficult for me or not interesting enough for me to want to ride just on them over and over again. It’s good that there is another bike park very close to Plesivec – Klinovec, so you can come to this area for 2-3 days and not get bored.
Thank you :)
