RIDERS PARK Donovaly - a new cycling destination that both children and adults will love

RIDERS PARK Donovaly - Slovakia's New Mountain Biking Destination for the Whole Family

Donovaly is one of Slovakia's most popular mountain destinations. Every summer, visitors are drawn by its stunning scenery, scenic hiking trails, and family-friendly attractions. This year, however, there's a brand-new reason to visit - RIDERS PARK Donovaly, an exciting mountain biking destination designed for riders of all ages and abilities.

Whether you're taking your very first ride, helping your child develop new skills, or looking for challenging trails as an experienced biker, RIDERS PARK offers something for everyone-all surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Low Tatras.

A Bike Park Designed for Real Progress

RIDERS PARK is much more than an adrenaline-filled bike park. It has been carefully designed to help riders progress naturally-from their first metres on a bike to mastering technically demanding trails.

The park features 10 trails with a combined length of approximately 7 kilometres, divided into four difficulty levels, ranging from easy green trails for beginners to challenging red trails for experienced riders.

The trail network was designed by Gravity Logic, one of the world's leading companies specializing in bike park design and construction.

JOYLINE - The Trail Everyone Will Love

The heart of the park is JOYLINE, a flowing trail stretching over two kilometres.

Filled with smooth berms, rollers, and flowing turns, it is perfect for riders looking to build confidence and improve their technique without intimidating obstacles. JOYLINE delivers the effortless "flow" feeling that keeps riders coming back again and again.

Trails for Every Skill Level

Beginners can start on easier trails such as YARD Line, Dragon, Yippy, and Husky, all designed to help riders develop confidence and essential mountain biking skills.

Intermediate riders will enjoy trails including Offroader, Roller, and Stoner, where larger berms, technical sections, and fun flow features offer the next level of challenge.

Experienced bikers can test themselves on more demanding trails such as Kamcore, while additional routes-including the highly anticipated Vipera downhill trail-are currently under development.

Pump Track - Where Every Rider Begins

Before tackling the mountain trails, make sure to visit Slovakia's highest-altitude hybrid pump track.

A pump track is a specially designed circuit featuring rollers and banked turns that allows riders to generate speed using body movement instead of pedalling.

It's the perfect place to improve:

  • Balance
  • Coordination
  • Cornering technique
  • Overall bike handling skills

Best of all, the pump track is free to use, making it ideal for children, adults, and complete beginners alike.

Mini Bike Park for Young Riders

Located next to the pump track, the Mini Bike Park features three short green trails-Husky, Yippy, and Dragon.

Here, children can safely experience their first berms, rollers, and trail riding before progressing to the larger trails, making RIDERS PARK an ideal destination for families.

Summer in Donovaly Offers More Than Cycling

Even if you're not planning to spend the entire day on a bike, RIDERS PARK offers plenty of additional attractions.

During summer, visitors can enjoy:

  • Slovakia's largest mountain swing with spectacular panoramic views
  • Trampolines and a bungee trampoline
  • A giant inflatable bouncy castle
  • Electric scooter rentals
  • Scenic hiking trails with breathtaking mountain views
  • Plenty of attractions for both children and adults
