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…

This year mountainbikers can use two cablecars. Asitzbahn is the main Bike Park cablecar (upper station on 1758m a.s.l.). Next to it’s middle station you’ll find start of…
