Difficulties Abound at Czarna Góra Cycling Park
Exploring Bikepark Czarna Góra: A Haven for Biking Enthusiasts
Bikepark Czarna Góra, one of the largest in Poland, offers an exhilarating experience for biking enthusiasts. Situated in the heart of the country, this bike park caters to riders of all skill levels, with a diverse range of trails and facilities that make it a must-visit destination.
The bike park boasts a comprehensive set of amenities, including a bike rental, shop, repair service, and bike washing station, ensuring that you have everything you need for a day on the trails.
For those new to the sport, the bike park offers a practice area and the short Efka lift, which takes you to the start of the green trail Family and the blue trail Muflon, ideal for beginners. There's also the bunny hill, specifically designed for those just starting out. For those looking to build skills, there are two blue trails called Top Gun and Dirt, featuring berms and small tabletops.
Intermediate and advanced riders will find plenty to challenge them. The Bikepark Czarna Góra offers 4-hour, 2-hour, multi-day, and 5-day tickets, giving you ample time to explore the 23 km of trails. Among these, Żmija is a blue-marked Enduro trail with roots and a relatively gentle slope, but could be classified as red. Freeride, Sowa, Dzik, Kalifornia, Klakier, and DH Lux are all red or black trails with many roots and stones.
If you're seeking a more challenging blue trail, look no further than the Milky Way, marked blue but more difficult than blue trails in other bike parks. For the truly daring, there's Kambodża, a double black trail with big jumps designed for high speeds, and DH Torpeda, which turns into DH Cup, another double black trail.
The Efka lift, a practical solution for bikers, has a holder for the entire bike at the back of the chair. There are no big queues for the lifts, especially later in the day. However, it's worth noting that e-bikes are not allowed on the lifts unless they're light, up to 18 kg.
The bike park is open daily from 9 am to 6 pm in summer, and on weekends or specific hours in spring and autumn. A daily parking fee of 20 PLN is required if you're not staying nearby.
For beginners looking for easy trails, other bike parks like Zieleniec and Dolni Morava might be better options. Dolni Morava, located nearby in the Czech Republic, offers several kilometers of green and blue trails. If you don't mind climbs, I recommend riding the singletracks of the Glacensis network.
But whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, Bikepark Czarna Góra promises an unforgettable biking experience. So, grab your helmet, hop on your bike, and get ready for an adventure!

- Despite the focus on biking, Bikepark Czarna Góra might not be the best option for those only interested in sports like hockey, golf, tennis, or auto-racing, as there are no facilities or trails for these sports within the park.
- During the busy season, those who love sports like racing, especially grand-prix or auto-racing, might find the thrill they seek on the challenging trails like Kambodża and DH Torpeda, which offer high-speed adventures similar to auto-racing.
- For those who enjoy spectating rather than participating, watching skilled bikers attempt the exhilarating Freeride, Sowa, Dzik, Kalifornia, Klakier, and DH Lux trails could be akin to attending a Grand Prix, with riders navigating obstacles and competing for the fastest times.
- If you're a sports enthusiast with a diverse taste, a visit to Bikepark Czarna Góra could broaden your horizon, offering an experience not dissimilar to trying a new sport like hockey, golf, tennis, or auto-racing, but with biking.
