naja, das sind imho immer noch zwei unterschiedliche Dinge: ich fahr regelmäßig in der fränkischen oder Hersbrucker Schweiz Touren. Das ist "nur" Singletrail oder Forstweg. Wenn ich in eine Trailcenter fahre und dort "gebaute" MTB-spezifische Features auf den Trails habe, sei es Drops/Northshores/... ist das doch ein etwas anderes Radfahren als nur eine Tour auf nem Wanderweg. Und wenn ich sehe welchen Aufwand ich treiben müsste, damit ich bei 5 Tagen Urlaub irgendwo mitten in Tschechien eine hoffentlich taugliche Region finde, dort Touren plane immer in der Hoffnung das das vom Anspruch her auch passt (keine Schotterstraßen und nicht 500hm bergauf tragen...), da ist so ein größeres Trailcenter schon attraktiv. Wenn dort für 5€ am Tag schon taugliche Trails ausgeschildert sind, das ist's mir wert
I will write in english, bcs i dont know, how translator will handle with sentences.
That 5 € at Rychleby is not daily fee, but it is voluntary contribution for current month. Ofcourse, if you will love that place, you can support them with buying one ribbon every day being there

From my tastes, Rychlebske stezky are really great, maybe one of the best in middle Europe, landscape there is lovely too and its wort of visit. 5/5 Recommendation. They have flow trail and, which i preffer, rocky AF trails, few with really nice flow even in that chatterness. Big benefit is bikepark Kouty with lift 20 km nearby, which is more natural-style trails oriented. If you like jumps and airlines, just almost across the road is tiny bikepark Kares. So You can spend there one week easily. Or Visit Trutnov too, it basicaly on the way to Germany.
Trutnov have maybe smaller infrastructure, but the trails are great too.
I see that few people here rode singletrails Pod Smrkem. I been there once and trails there are acceptable, but in comparison to Trutnov or Rychleby they are boring and not really well build.
If you have something like two weeks to spend, you can visit bikepark Jested (not far from Pod Smrkem), continue to Trutnov, after that to Rychlebske stezky + bikepark Kouty with bikepark Kares. After that you can move on not too far east to Poland. Trailcenter Bilesko-Biala its on top-spot with rychleby on my personal chart. Thare are really different trails - from flow lines to rooty or rocky madness. You can use lift too, if you want. Al those are basically on one line in map.
Thats my recommendation, if somebody is thinking about holiday in north, north-east part of CZ.
South-west have "just" bikepark Spicak, which is well-known and top notch. About 70 km on north is Susice, another great trail-center. That place is great, but you have to know unofficial trails too (from EWS qualifier, which was cancelled this year and enduro races).
Gulasch, Knödel, Pivo und tolle Trailcenter: Tschechien hat jede Menge zu bieten für Mountainbiker. Das Team von Scott Bike24 hat die beiden Trailcenter in Rychleby und Trutnov genauer unter die Lupe genommen und erzählt, wieso sich die Reise nach Tschechien definitiv lohnt!
