Katera Trail is a flow/enduro singletrack through the forest with a clearly marked line. The upper section starts at Gornje Mladice and suits beginner and intermediate riders, with three jumps that have a chicken line. Katera is also often used as a transfer to climb to the top of the park, and it continues into Evocoin Trail, a more demanding section for experienced riders. It is blue on the ITRS scale. See the park's other trails on the MTB trails at Bike Park Evolution page.
Key sections to master
01
Upper section: Gornje Mladice – Krešnice
Ideal for beginner and intermediate riders. A mix of flow and enduro elements with narrow passages. Often used as a transfer for the climb.
02
Jumps and drops
The three jumps in the upper section have a chicken line, so you can bypass them until you know the trail. Check the landing on your first run.
03
Evocoin Trail (continuation)
After the gravel road crossing the trail gets more demanding: big steeps, a rock garden and jumps you cannot bypass. Intended for experienced riders.
Safety note
The Evocoin section has steeps and jumps you cannot bypass. If you are unsure of your experience, ride only the upper section and walk the line first.
