Up and Down

The Land beneath Peca is criss-crossed by countless trails, suitable for both casual riders and the most dedicated cyclists. Along them, you can discover the secrets of the forests and the resonant silence of the mountains step by step, take in the lush green of fields and meadows, breathe in the babbling of clear streams and dreamy little lakes, and get to know the diverse fruits of folk creativity. In our mountain-biking area, the options for exploring by MTB are endless, and the elevations and steep slopes of the surrounding mountains are made for pure enjoyment.
Join us for a three-day active trip to Koroška and experience the best rides:

• Jamnica Trail – Koroška Bike Park
• Peca Flow Country Trail – the longest
bike descent in Europe
• Cycling underground – 500 metres

DAY 1: Arrival, introductory day
Arrival in Koroška, specifically at the cycling centre located in the idyllic pre-Alpine village of Jamnica, high above the Mežica Valley. Accommodation in the eco-hotel at Koroš Farm, a small, distinctive eco-hotel with a wonderful view of the Koroška mountains and peaks. The cycling centre offers everything cyclists need – a cycling information centre, bike rental, repairs and storage, bike and equipment washing and drying, as well as a bike shuttle (bike transport). The Koroš Farm estate is a typical Carinthian celk (an isolated farmstead), with its own forest, meadows, pastures, orchards, and fields. In addition to comfortable accommodation, the farm offers authentic organic dishes, as it has operated according to organic farming principles since 2000. They produce home-grown vegetables, homemade rye bread, and the traditional Carinthian drink, cider. An introductory evening will follow, where we will agree and already plan where we will head by bike the next day. We will suggest a suitable cycling tour based on your wishes and abilities, and our experience is a guarantee that everyone in your group will truly enjoy the ride.
Dinner option (at an additional cost) and overnight stay.

DAY 2: Jamnica Single Trail Park
We will make the most of the first cycling-focused day by heading, after a snack and full of energy, to the Koroška Bike Park, which is special because it belongs to the category of “trail bike parks”. In forests and pastures with beautiful views, there are well-maintained trails designed for safe enjoyment, especially on “all-mountain” and enduro bikes. In the park, you can choose easy, flowing trails or opt for routes with more technically demanding sections, gaining experience for later challenges on longer tours. The trails are connected by a special track built exclusively to make it easier to return to the top. The mountainous surroundings, full of excellent singletracks, ensure you can experience true mountain biking at its best. After cycling, we will go for a soak and some relaxation at a natural alpine lake beneath Peca – Breško Lake (Pirkdorfer See). After swimming, we recommend a trip to nearby Pliberk (Bleiburg), where you can visit the colourful medieval centre and, for an additional fee, taste beer from a local brewery; lunch will also be available there. After an active day, there will be time to relax and share impressions back at Koroš Farm, where they offer refreshments in the pool. Overnight stay.

DAY 3: Peca Flow Country Trail
For the final day, we have prepared two more adrenaline-filled experiences. After breakfast, well fortified, we can head 500 metres underground, as we will cycle through the abandoned tunnels of the mystical underground of Peca (at an additional cost). Then we will visit the Austrian side of Carinthia. We will take the gondola up Mount Peca, where the newly developed Flow Trail course, with 1,000 m of vertical drop, features the longest bike descent of its kind in Europe. This smooth trail, where every mountain biker will come into their own, will deliver plenty of adrenaline. Ramps, jumps, tabletops, endless sharp turns. Regardless of skill level, enjoyment is guaranteed. The difference between experienced and recreational riders is speed – the former descend decisively, and as speed increases, so does the challenge. Recreational riders will take the trail more comfortably, riding the tabletops and corners more cautiously. Even so, in the end everyone will reach the foot of Peca (Petzen) after 1,000 vertical metres and 10 km, with a broad smile on their face. It is pure flow – a smooth ride, an endorphin release when you find your rhythm on the way down. From the cycling paradise beneath Peca, you will slowly head home in the afternoon, already thinking about returning as soon as possible.
