The first extreme downhill in the Bike park of Jasná

Downhill is the second most popular discipline after exposed mountain terrain and sought after not only by adrenaline lovers but also recreational cyclists and families with children who can also enjoy riding on scooters or mountain carts. “A good downhill bicycle and protective gear are essential. What´s more, cyclists have to respect the so called Green Code (rules and general instructions for the area of the National Park Low Tatras and all bike tracks). Downhill lowers like the diversity of the terrain and new challenges. That´s why there are a lot of new attractions and offers that we have prepared for them. They can test the beauty of this sport and the natural character of the terrain with wooden obstacles at the first extreme downhill already and then during the whole summer season. There will be also easier tracks available after 28th June. The first extreme downhill will have a special price - 12 Euro for adults,“ said Matej Hulej, director of Tatry Motion shops and services.
