Mountain bike trails: the magic labyrinth

Posted on Mon Aug 14, 2017

The Magic Labyrinth is my favourite trail; it has ups and downs, left and right narrow turns. It is here, in the small quasi–rectangular woods in the centre (in some future I will learn how to pinpoint an exact location on the map):

This trail is a bit farther than the others.

00: the trail is those woods down there.

02: we should go down here to enter the trail area; it is a steep downhill slope. It does not look at such in this photo, but it is actually somewhat high; too high for me…

04: … so I cowardly go down here instead.

06: this is the actual entrance. Magic… is it not?

08: and we go…

16: … and we go…

17: … and we go down over a small bridge…

19: … and we go up right after the left turn…

21: … and we go…

23: there is a small lake inside the labyrinth; it contributes to the magic.

25: and we go again…

26: … and we go…

27: … and we go…

29: the technical part is over, now it is relaxing.

31: and we go again …

33: there are occasional obstacles…

35: this is not part of the trail, but it is, no doubt, a passage in the woods; it goes to the inner lake. Was it made by humans, or by big beasts? There should be no big beasts around here…

37: the trail goes on…

img-2017/mtb-trail--2017-08-09--magic-labyrinth-39-small

39: there is some Nature.

41: but we must not get distracted: we have to build speed to climb this and get out in the open.
