Tips for e-bike trips
Discover the magic of e-bikes and explore Mosty u Jablunkova and the surrounding area without restrictions.
Riding an e-bike brings new possibilities, but also risks
E-bikes are a wonderful invention that makes cycling accessible to all age groups and extends the range. Riding an e-bike, just like a classic bike, is mainly about moving in the fresh air, enjoying nature and discovering new places.
However, riding an e-bike is a slightly different sport that requires more skills and attention than riding a regular bike. An e-bike rider should ride with respect and consideration for their surroundings, and learn to control the e-bike reliably. It is important to remember that an e-bike is heavier than a normal bike, and its inertia is greater, which must be taken into account when turning, braking, and riding downhill.
A few tips for riding an e-bike
Correct gear shifting is the alpha and omega of riding an e-bike.
Set a lower level of assistance for long climbs and shift to a lighter gear.
When starting off, use a light gear in combination with the lowest level of assistance.
When you are coming to a stop and are about to stop, shift to a lighter gear.
If you stop with a higher level of assistance set, the bike may surprise you with its acceleration when you start moving.
Ride evenly. If you are not in a hurry and want to go as far as possible, 1st and 2nd levels of assistance are enough.
Remember that even riding an e-bike requires physical fitness, do not overestimate your strength.
Remember: if you do not pedal, no one is helping you and the bike simply does not move!

The Lomná River Valley is one of the most beautiful in the Beskydy Mountains. It offers beautiful architecture, deep forests and natural attractions. An example is the Mionší primeval forest (a guided nature trail). In the center, in a wooden house, there is the Lomná Museum and a little further on, the Agricultural Yard and Information Center in a wooden house.
In Horní Lomná there is a spring with eternal water (by the guesthouse of the same name with a summer swimming pool) and above it the Church of the Holy Cross with the Stations of the Cross in nature. To get to Lomná, use the cycle path - it starts behind the car camp under the Viaduct. This is a moderately difficult route, mainly along unpaved forest roads without difficult climbs or descents.
