Large areas of the Czech and especially the Slovak mountains offer very convenient conditions for mountain bike trips and are "heaven" for all those who are fond of this exciting hobby. Among the suitable areas which make the fullest use of mountain bikes, we undoubtedly include areas of national parks that offer unforgetable moments thanks to their breath-taking scenery.
Mountain bikes are the most suitable and the most decent way of moving within national parks. Of course, mountain-bikes can not be used everywhere in the national parks, but the cyclists are allowed
in most areas.
Our tours will enable you to see as much scenery as possible in a short period of time. These beauties
await the lovers of outdoor and wildlife activities in both republics.
