Rychleby Trails are not a lift-served bikepark. They are a real mountain bike trail area in the Rychleby Mountains, with rocks, roots, flow, technical sections and forest loops that start and finish at the Base in Černá Voda.
The Base provides the infocentre, bike rental, bike school, pub, bike shop, bike wash and practical information.
Why visit
Rychleby is ideal for riders who want natural and technical MTB riding. Superflow is the famous flowing highlight, while Wales and Velryba bring rocks, roots and more demanding riding.
Trails
Beginners should start with the blue recommended routes such as Trail podél Černého potoka, Trail Lesů ČR, Vidnavský okruh and Sokolík. More difficult trails require real off-road confidence.
Prices
There is no compulsory trail entry fee. A voluntary contribution supports maintenance. Bike rental is available through the booking system and should be reserved ahead.
Opening
The trails are closed from 1 November to 31 March. During the season, evening riding bans apply by month. Check trail status before visiting.
Summary
Rychleby Trails are one of the strongest MTB destinations in Czechia: technical, natural, demanding and very rewarding.
