Bike trails – Mill Trails

The Mill Trails have been set up in the valley of the Moravice River, not far from the Kružberk Reservoir. The first section of the trail was opened in June 2013. This is quite a short skills trail and includes a pump track. The trails include optional routes around the Kružberk Reservoir and Janské lázně. Acting as a base for these trails is David’s Mill (Davidův mlýn), which offers a range of services, including a restaurant, accommodation, parking and bike hire.
