Abstract

The benefits from cycling are endless. In addition to the ones in terms of health, there are mental and social
benefits making cycling a more useful activity. The mountain could become even more attractive for the
cyclists with the trails crossing though the untouched nature, clean air and a number of tourist attractions.
Popova Shapka already offers eight mountain biking trails with proper signage (informative boards and
panels, road maps, marks and marked pillars) manufactured in line with the regulations set forth by the
Cycling Federation of Macedonia.
The purpose of this research is the level of satisfaction from the biking trails, the nature, and cultural,
historical and anthropological motives. The research was done through an anonymous survey including 10
questions answered by cyclists using these trails. A total of 68 (sixty eight) cyclists were interviewed,
presenting a high percentage of satisfaction related to the biking trail signage – 79,4% (54); information
made available on the panels – 86,7% (59); nature 89,7% (61). These results indicate that Popova Shapka as
a tourist destination with its mountain biking trails considerably adds to the tourist offer.
