My friends and I prepared fully, packed a few essential things and set out to…
Javornické okruhy – MTB trails
Javornické okruhy
“Hey, what about the gravel, is it enough for one round?” More and more people are asking me that. And the answer is clear, if you like off-road riding, it’s not enough. In addition to gravel bike, I also have a Canyon Neuron CF trail bike.
Trutnov Trails and Javornické Trails are among my favorite MTB locations. In this post, I will describe my experience with the Javornice circuits. The Javornické Trails has its own website, where you can find more information and a description of the individual routes.
It is necessary to point out that these are mostly unmarked natural paths, so you cannot do without navigation. On the other hand, there is minimal interference with the surrounding nature, and I like that about it. On the routes, you will get more demanding root and stony sections, a lot of nice singletrails, some technical enduro delicacies and all this with wonderful views of Šumava, Pošumaví and the majestic royal castle of Kašperk.
Over 3 Thousand Peaks, 2 Viewpoints and 1 Castle
My most popular route is Over 3 Thousand Peaks, 2 Viewpoints and 1 Castle. Even though this circuit is “only” around 50 km, don’t be fooled. They will thoroughly check your physical and technical preparation, especially if you ride in the wet.
It’s Saturday morning, I load my bike on the car in Budějice and head towards Javorník. I’m there in an hour, I prepare my bike, change my clothes, turn on the GPS and start the route.
It’s like a roller coaster, up, down, comfortable for a while and then it’s hard again, but that’s exactly how I like it. In Kašperské Hory I stop at the local brewery for lunch and continue along the route. The environment is constantly changing, rock-root sections, single trails, forest paths, this is how I imagine a natural MTB circuit.
Considerably exhausted, but satisfied, I arrive at the car in the early evening. Again, it was worth it and it confirmed to me that this type of route suits me like shit. All the nooks and crannies, unexpected turns, diverse environments, breathtaking views (even hills :-)), only a local enthusiastic cycling native can plan this :-). Thanks a lot!
