Terrain:
Typical karst terrain and rural areas. Mixed forest, many stone features, some depressions and other landscape features (pits, knolls, etc.).
 
Punching:
NFC cheaps provided by organizer will be used.
The ANT application will be used for recording answers on the course — mobiles will be at punching stations, a competitor approaches, identifies her/him-self by a lent NFC chip, chooses a control number and then an answer. A similar procedure will be also at the start and the finish. You can test the application in advance — see http://ant.yq.cz/puncher.html.
 
Toilets:
Portable toilet cabin will be near the Event Centre.
Please do not use other options nearby and in nature, because we got a place for the Event Centre very hard.
