Interesting facts and tips
- The circuit is suitable for skilled cyclists.
- Adjust your bike before you go. Take advantage of the small service at the Skalka hotel.
- After a steep climb to Vrbičky, get off your bike and take a breath. You will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful circular views far and wide. Benecko with Kotlo in the background and Žalý will be in the palm of your hand.
