Maribor this year opens season 2008 in UCI world cup DH/4x!
Best downhill course in UCI world cup. Riders love Maribor: very fast first part, crazy tehnical midle section (lots of rocks and roots) and finish part with an enormous crowd of spectators.
The course is located in a ski resort on the mountain Pohorje in the suburbs of Maribor, Slovenia's second largest city with a population of 150,000. The same venue is used for the classic women's Alpine Ski World Cup slalom and giant slalom events. The finish area is only 6km (10 minute drive) from downtown Maribor.

Located near Slovenian border with Austria, beside the Drava river and at the centre of five natural geographic regions. More...
