Maják 2019

The 2019 variant was a semi-circuit stage featuring two passes through the main spectator area below the Malenovice Castle. Right after the start, the road drops steeply toward the iconic hairpin, then continues — in the opposite direction compared to the Shakedown — along the stream and through the industrial area. The stage then climbs through the garden allotments up to a left turn, after which the crews pass the legendary hairpin again and return toward the start area for the second run through the spectator section.

On the second lap, the route turns right in the allotments and climbs into the forest. A fast, four-kilometre forest section with several tricky corners follows — essentially the first version of the RBR Maják stage, but driven in reverse. The finish is located just before the bus turnaround.
