After my visit in Slovenia on the occasion of the Trans Julius Bike Adventure in June, I decided that my next trip to this beautiful country must include Maribor. Why? First, downhill world cup track seems interesting, second – I was encouraged by the views in Julian Alps. Unfortunalty Maribor isn’t a good idea to go for the views, but trails… let’s see! When you arrive to Maribor you’ll see a mix of Polish towns – Kielce & Katowice – with a vast, but not very high peak. Me and my companions choose to stay on top of the mountain…

However, the first profession was quickly replaced by a smile and joy of riding on local trails. If you are wondering how wisely you can use a hill with less than…
