Slovenia’s Black Hole Enduro region blends big-mountain adventure with hand-built singletrack and a dash of bike-park flow over the Austrian border. Across the week you’ll ride Jamnica Single Trail Park (Enduro World Series host terrain), airy Karawanke ridgelines, uplift laps at Petzen, and the one-of-a-kind underground Black Hole Trail beneath Mežica. Expect long descents, natural tech, loam and roots, rocky lines, sweeping meadows and grin-inducing berms.
You’ll pedal on most days (with strategic shuttles), then switch to gondola laps at MTB ZONE Bikepark Petzen for big flow and optional EWS-grade tech.
This trip suits confident, experienced Enduro riders. The week mixes pedal days in Jamnica and along the Karawanke ridgelines with uplifted laps at Petzen. The Black Hole Trail day is the most committing: part of the descent runs underground through historic mine tunnels with tight, steep sections and compulsory dismounts for safety, utterly memorable, but it demands composure.
At Petzen, difficulty ranges from the 11.5 km Flow Country Trail (perfect warm-up and speed control check) to trails like Thriller and the EWS line, which add natural steepness, roots and rougher sections for advanced riders.
- Advised bike: 150–170 mm enduro (aggressive setup recommended)
- Fitness: 3.5 / 5 (comfortable with sustained descents and repeated efforts)
- Technical ability: 3.5 / 5 (roots, rocks, switchbacks, occasional exposure; the Black Hole day includes short sections you must walk)
- Riding style: All-Natural / Spirit of Adventure
Bottom line: if you’re happy on red/black natural singletrack, manage bike-park blues/reds with pace, and can keep form through long descents, you’ll thrive here. If underground exposure or steeper natural tech isn’t your thing, we’ll bias days toward Jamnica’s flowier lines and Petzen’s smoother laps.
