We are starting with the presentation of the terrains we chose for Silesia O-Cup.
Let us begin with the very last one, which we called Dolomites.
The map for this stage is already finished. It turned out to be quite a surprise for us, as the terrain is much better and more interesting than it seemed to be when we scouted it last year. It is very diversified, with lots of pits in a clean beech forest, small marches in more overgrown parts and a few areas with microrelief. For desserts we have an overgrown quarry and surrounding half-open terrain with rocks and boulders with quite high climbs.
In the “Terrain and maps” section we present photos and map fragments. More to be found on our Facebook page and event. Please take a look at both.

Our competition joined the Orienteering Euroleague. It is a series of competitions held in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the event calendar apart from Silesia O-Cup there is also a big Czech competition Grand Prix Silesia.
We encourage everyone to take part in the other events in the Euroleague series, as they are very interesting and will be held very close to Silesia.

Welcome to the official website of Silesia O-Cup.
Many of you got here looking for information about Limanowa Cup. This is no mistake. Next year, the competition known as Limanowa Cup will take place in the heart of Upper Silesia.
Probably not many people had the chance to try orienteering in this area, so now you can make up for it. We are preparing 4 stages that will take place across 3 days. There will be two forest stages, one park-forest stage and one urban stage.
Each stage will be a different kind of challenge and will take you to a new and interesting place.
Please take a look at bulletin 0 in the Bulletins tab. Under Terrain and maps and How to get here you will find details regarding each stage and its location.
Once again, please feel invited!
