The small bike park Kope is around two hours' drive south of Graz. Just over an hour to the east, the Maribor bike park invites you to take a detour. The Petzen and the Jamnica trail park are also not far away. In short: we are in a select bike mecca and have chosen a real insider tip with the sweet signature trail Berry Line.

• a chairlift takes us from the centre of Kope up the mountain
• various lines and trails are available to us up here
• including a jumpline

For starters, we want pure nature - and above all natural trails! The Berry Line single trail is one such natural trail: the towel-wide path winds through the forest over roots, stones and rocks - with the blueberries that give the trail its name at the edge.

• natural forest surface over roots & stones
• open bends & small jumps
• moderate gradient

The gradient is never too steep, so we can control our speed well and become increasingly playful. After 150 m and 1.3 km, we arrive back in the centre of Kope - we decide to ride up the mountain again. This time we take the time to look around: Our view wanders far into the low mountain range landscape and yet the forest up here looks mystical, almost alpine with its sparse, steppe-like meadows. We decide to take the Berry Line once again. We simply love the bends, the surface and the forest. But above all the small jumps and open bends, which we now tackle with much more courage. On the next trip, however, it will be the Jumpline - for sure ...
