Route directions
Who it’s for: Expert. Riders confident on steep, loose descents and exposed turns.
Small on the map, muscular on the bike: Vodolaza packs a steep climb and 1.8 km of technical trail into a compact loop. Choose it for a focused riding session, not an easy warm-up.
Ride: from the pool parking, reach the railway-crossing area near 0.3 km and take the dirt climb left. Turn left again at about 2.8 km for the Vodolaza descent. At the road crossing around 4.4 km, avoid the sharp-right gully. Near 5.3 km, the line approaches the railway; use the lawful crossing to reach the asphalt and head west back to the pool.
Some climbing may need pushing. Inspect trail features before committing, especially where alternative lines diverge. Carry water from the start, and cross the railway only at designated crossings; never ride along the tracks.
