The Singltrek trails around Mount Smrk are the first of their kind in the Czech Republic and continental Europe. These trails follow old routes that were created in the early 20th century. They meander among the trees, and never run level, uphill or downhill for long. They fully respect the woodland environment but are designed for you to enjoy your ride to the max. The trails also lead across the slopes of Mount Smrk, which at 1,124m is the highest mountain in the Czech part of the Jizera Mountains.
