Singletracks

Currently, cycling is the most widespread form of recreational activities in the Czech Republic. In addition to the still-growing network of cycle routes and cycleways, bikeparks and trail-centres are also multiplying. The popularity of extreme biking is increasing rapidly, conditions are improving, as are the facilities. Admission to parks is always free, fees are payable only for rentals, cable cars, and other services. 1
