For various sports enthusiasts, the Slovenske Konjice Sports Hall offers a polygon consisting of undulating bumps and bends that are rhythmically connected to each other in a circular loop. Most often, cyclists ride on it, but it is also suitable for riding skateboards, roller skates and scooters.

The popular pump track is a fortified earthen path that even the youngest will be impressed by when they start making the first turns on their bike. Older cyclists will simply be addicted to riding on undulating terrain. Riding on the polygon is undertaken without pedaling or pushing, only by moving the body’s centre of gravity.
