Route directions
Who it’s for: Medium. Regular mountain bikers comfortable with 500 m of climbing and rough tracks.
This is a ride through lived-in mountain country: forest, scattered houses, meadows and old tracks across the ridges. The biggest technical pinch comes below Grashkina Mogila, where a short, steep descent is often better walked.
Ride: climb the road from Tsarvula. At 5 km, turn right off the asphalt towards Treshtenik Hut, then take the bungalow track. Go right downhill at 6 km and left near 6.7 km, passing Kausha and Kyorovi Kolibi. In Yurcheni Kolibi, 8.2 km, turn sharply left, then left again after 300 m. At 9.9 km, leave the main road straight/right for Grashkina Mogila. Join the larger road at 12.1 km, take its right-hand hairpin at 12.5 km, then continue via the Gramadna crossing to Tsarvula.
Expect roughly 200 m of steep, eroded descending below the top. Take lunch and use the roadside fountains on the climb if flowing. Starting at Treshtenik keeps the total distance but changes all the kilometre references above.
