You can do everything here

I needed training for enduro, dowhnill and xc before hitting dangerous bikeparks in British Columbia. Roman's instructors and friendly riders at Kalnica worked with me on attack position, balance, braking, line selection, pumptrack, turning, and bike selection.  Videos showed where body position corrections were needed.   They even added a huge guided xc ride with choices of easy or hard, and kept it safe while pushing my limits on their enduro race lines.  These are serious riders and they improved my game.  Will return soon for more training.

We all think that we know how to ride a bike.  A bike park can show you where you are right, and wrong.  Take a class and learn something.  You will like it.

The Lapierre rental bikes are amazing, and always in tune.   And the pumptrack is good for learning how to generate speed.

This is not a large park like Semmering, but you don't have to wait in line behind scooters and tourists.  You can do more vertical meters in a day at Kalnica, which has developed national event winners in boys and girls classes.
