Wide tracks can still make tough riding. This loop saves its awkward work for a rough, branching descent with deep ruts and faint continuations. Choose it if you enjoy that kind of exploration; [B13](https://semkovo.org/routes/b13-yakoruda-treshtenik-2/) is the more approachable of the two Treshtenik loops. **Ride:** climb the asphalt to Treshtenik, leaving it right towards the hut at **13.1 km**. Descend through the rough bungalow roads, briefly rejoin the main road and continue towards **Manovi Kolibi**. At **15.4 km**, go straight uphill off the main track. Near **17.9 km**, take the faint straight continuation into the descent. Stay with the mapped line through the branching roads, pass the building and fence near **22 km**, and reach **Dzhebre Street at 23.4 km** for the return to the market. Fresh forestry work can change ruts and junctions quickly. Slow down where the main line becomes unclear rather than following whichever track looks widest. There are fountains on the climb; carry food unless a hut meal has been arranged. ## Before you set off Check weather and access, carry the map offline and leave your route and expected return with someone at Coliving. Match technical terrain to your riding skills. Check access restrictions before setting out.
