Orienteering

  Female athlete doing an exercise Copyright: © HSZ Walter

Orienteering combines physical exercising in nature with mental performance - an ideal balance to the daily study routine. In orienteering, several control points, or CP for short, are approached on the terrain one after the other with the help of a map and a compass. The locations of these CPs are marked on a special orienteering map. Usually, the CPs are connected to form a path and must be approached in the specified order. The goal of orienteering is to complete the entire path in the fastest time.
