A family sport for mind and soul in the St. Johann in Tirol region!
Orienteering is a sport for all the family, which challenges both mind and body. There are three different courses in Oberndorf in Tirol. Points (also called posts) need to be found using the printed map (and possibly a compass). These are red and white boards with a check marker on a wooden post. On a special map at a scale of 1:7.500 (1 cm = 75 m), the posts are marked out with a red circle and a number. Happy searching!
Important:
Information if the tracks are open or not must be checked in advance. The tracks are entered at your own risk.

Instructions
The start and finish posts are to the south facing area of the car park, at the swimming pool in Oberndorf in Tirol (opposite the information board).
Read this map! There is a print out explaining the colours and symbols (legend).
Get the map in the correct position (align) Turn it so the map matches the terrain! The map should remain in this position throughout (the whole orienteering session)!
Before starting, on the map, connect the post rings - depending on the course - with the red line! This will make it easier to read out on the course.
The post outline is printed next to the map and tells you about the exact position of the station location.
When you have found the posts, using the number, check it is the right one and pinch off the field of the appropriate course (easy, medium, difficult)!
After pinching, re-arrange the map and head to the next post.
