More forest. More trails. More adventure.
Discover one of the most traditional and unspoilt cycling regions in Slovenia, where old shepherds’ and miners’ paths have become legendary trails. In Koroška – the Slovenian Carinthia – you’ll cycle amongst the Karawanken mountains, disused mines and seemingly endless forests. Around Jamnica, Bike Park Petzen and Kope, in the north of Slovenia right on the border with Austria, lies one of the most unspoilt MTB areas in Slovenia – a region full of contrasts, unspoilt nature and genuine trail culture.

Mountain biking in the heart of the Slovenian Alps
If you’re looking for genuine trail adventures, you’ll find them in Koroška. Around the Single Trail Park Jamnica, the MTB ZONE Petzen Bike Park and the Kope Family Bike Area in the Pohorje Mountains, a diverse network of trails awaits, featuring flowing trails, technical singletrack and scenic rides. Petzen, in particular, impresses with its legendary, approximately 11 km-long flow trail and alpine panorama – an international highlight right on the border with Austria.
Here you’ll find unspoilt trails, crystal-clear rivers and an impressive tranquillity that’s rarely found in the Alps these days. Across over 1,000 km of marked trails, you can explore the stunning alpine landscape of the cross-border UNESCO Karawanken Geopark. The Jamnica Single Trail Park is a true gem, brimming with MTB passion – here you can experience the biking lifestyle in its most authentic form. Developed by a local father-and-son team from the Ecohotel Koroš, the trail park is constantly being expanded. A brilliant pioneering project featuring around 24 km of marked trails and 9 varied all-mountain and enduro routes. Perfect for anyone seeking a variety of trails in unspoilt nature – from simple, flowing rides to technically challenging ones.
Are you ready for the adventure of underground biking?
Above ground, endless forests, panoramic peaks and unspoilt singletrack trails await you. Beneath the ground lies one of Europe’s most extraordinary cycling experiences: an underground biking tour through the disused mines of Mežica. Accompanied by a guide and equipped with a head torch, you’ll ride along the Black Hole Trail through the mine – following in the footsteps of 500 million years of geological history. It is precisely this combination of wilderness and unspoilt nature that makes Koroška a real hidden gem for mountain bikers – and one of Europe’s most extraordinary cycling destinations. Immerse yourself in this unique world of mining history, rugged karst formations and unspoilt woodland landscapes.
