We had a great three days in Slovakia. First day we rode in Malino brdo bike park, and then we visited Martinske Hole. To explore local trails above Žilina and st. Martin. Trails are not suitable for beginners, because all of them are steep with roots, so you have to be comitted. For uphill we used shuttle car, and we were guided by local riders who were great, and I recommend everybody who ride there to pay locals so the can show you trails, accommodation, cuisine and company. Send my email and I’ll give you contact if you are interested in repeating our trip. I also put gpx file of our rides on Martinske hole. (second day is without uphill).

Descent from Sveti Nikola to Sveta Nedjelja was for a while on my bucket list, but for this holiday I finally managed to ride it. I started my ride in Starigrad. Since I only brought my e-mtb plan was to use as shortest and steepest uphill to st. Nikola peak. St. Nikola peak offers great view which follows you all the way during descents. You can see steep vineyards above see.

This summer we were staying in town Hvar so I found some local trails that seemed interesting for quick morning ride. Above Hvar there is famous fortress “Fortica”, local people also call it “Španjola”. But for my ride I chose to ride on higher positioned Fort Napoleon. Since I brought e-mtb with me I decided to go uphill with some trail that seemed rideable. It showed later that it could be ridden with e-mtb. Uphill ride was also inspection of trail condition since I also planned to go downhill with the same trail, so I convinced myself that the trail is maintained.
