The Banik trail begins on the top of the Veľká Baňa (444 m) hill. The trail can be accessed using the access road from the Červený kríž. The start of the uphill access road is located behind the wooden structure at the back of the meadow. Character of this trail is natural and demanding of the riders technique, with minimum of berms and jumps, but with some rocky and off camber sections. Several times the end of the trail crosses a small creek, where the path it‘s quite fast and narrow.

Natural and technical “mtb enduro” trail with short rocky sections as well as wooden bridges and off-cambers.
