Terrain and old competition maps
The diverse competition terrain of Vuokatti’s hills offers orienteers variety and challenge.
The terrain is mainly spruce forest, and there are many differences in altitude. The paths crisscrossing the area in places increase the passability. The area has previously hosted competitions such as the World Orienteering Championships in 2013 and the World Cup middle distance competition in 2012.
The competition map was compiled by Jussi Silvennoinen and Teemu Köngäs.
