The tarmac is scarce so if you take turn off the main road you\u00b4ll be met with a surface suitable for off-road vehicles, horse wagons and seasoned Ukrainian drivers in Lada cars.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d42500.473949943036!2d24.31415534673025!3d48.2589932075052!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x47371bc0f34d709d%3A0xd0a21dbd04526da6!2zSmFzacWIYSwgWmFrYXJwYXRza8OhLCBVa3JhamluYQ!5e0!3m2!1scs!2scz!4v1450541934808\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Because of its positioning Jasi\u0148a is the ideal place for setting up a base camp for planning the cycling trips into surrounding areas. The first such place worth visiting is Dragobrat. This Ukraine\u00b4s altitudinally highest placed ski resort lies only 15 Km from Jasi\u0148a. The road is ideal for mountain bike and leads uphill through a wild valley to a 1350 metres above sea level. Intact nature and thick woods full of wildlife surround you during the whole ascent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/12\/profimedia-0269242197.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-132619 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2015\/12\/profimedia-0269242197-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Mountain range, Dragobrat, Ukraine\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second interesting place in this region is the largest ski resort in all of the Ukraine, the renowned Bukovel, situated approx. 20 Km from Jasi\u0148a. For the gravity disciplines devotees there is prepared a bike park by Gravity Logic crew, which means a world quality guarantee. Who would like a little bit more adventure, still, can embark on a bike trip leading under Hoverla and Petros in the Carpathian National Park.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"DownHill \/ Open Season Weekend \/ Bukovel Bike Park\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rbp1a-Ig6eY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The park is entered through the Kozme\u0161\u010dik village &#8211; the road starts to lead uphill, after all, there are more than 1000 altitude metres to deal with.
