Terrain Info

Noskūnai Forest is a typical Baltic terrain featuring fast runnable forest and rich contour detail. The area is characterized by numerous negative landforms such as depressions and reentrants, providing technical navigational challenges. Vegetation is generally open, allowing for high running speed and good visibility. This classic terrain hosted the Long Distance race of the 2006 Junior World Orienteering Championships (JWOC), demonstrating its suitability for high-level competition.
