Event descriptionVELIKDEN CUP 2014 – Four days of Orienteering during Easter in the hearth of Bulgaria – Targovishte. Dear Orienteers, Exploring the wide oakforests of north-­eastern Bulgaria and getting an impression of Bulgarian cuisine and culture during Easter festivities: That’s what the orienteering event Velikden-Cup offers in 2014.
Terrain descriptionAll competitions will take place on new maps. The fieldwork will be done in late 2013 and early 2014 by Bulgaria’s well-known mapper Dian Bonev. The forests in Targovishte region are mainly mixed forests with big parts of oak and beech – good runnability! Lots of little creeks, gullies, ditches, trenches, foxhowls and rocks add some thrill to the interesting and hilly terrain. For last years maps go to: www.variant5.org/velikdencup
