Singletrail Frymburk

Discover Singletrail Frymburk – it takes you from the forest above Frymburk to a breathtaking view of Lake Lipno from the peak of Marta. The route is designed to entertain recreational cyclists and children from ~10 years old, combining 1.5 km of relaxed climbing (via forest path) and a 1.6 km descent on a smooth trail full of berms. All for free, in nature and with a view that is worth every pedal stroke.

The climb up is quite okay – a longer but gentle hill that anyone with a bit of endurance can handle. And if you want to get a real workout, you can choose the Way of the Cross instead: a shorter but steep climb that rewards you with a beautiful view even along the way. If you have what it takes, go this way!
