Track: Our new track at Lipno isn't just a line on the map. It's a playground. We'll use every root, every patch of sand, and every gravel path so that everyone finds something for themselves. Because we're passionate and love to improvise, the track is constantly evolving in our heads – the final setup will be a unique experience tailored to the current conditions. Quality is guaranteed, though. The same professionals who have been fine-tuning tracks for the legendary Lipno Sport Festival for over 15 years are taking care of the route, and they damn well know how to build a track that simply won't let you go. Get ready for
the most fun kilometers of this season!

Swap the sound of your derailleur for the steady beat of live music. On both Friday and Saturday nights, live bands will kick things off right on the beach, joined by the unique DJ Hugo Teyy.
