Registration guide

Finally! Third time is the charm! May the dream about O-Ringen Uppsala 2022

now become reality! That and a thousand other thoughts and feelings of hope

and happiness surfaced when the government announced that the limits on the

number of participants are being removed.

The pandemic is still present in our

everyday life and far from over

and the hope about an O-Ringen

next summer is obviously

dependent on many things beyond our

control. But if everything goes well so that

we can finally meet again it will, after two

postponed events, be wonderful to do so

next summer at the biggest orienteering

adventure in the world: O-Ringen.

The announcement about the removed

restrictions gives a new burst of life and

energy to the officials who resume their

work with full power, not just in Uppsala but

also at future O-Ringen destinations. After

a two-year hiatus plans and preparations

need to be dusted off and updated for us to

be ready to receive all you enthusiastic orienteers

from all corners of the world. After

these two years the craving might be extra

strong so we may be looking forward to an

extra-large reunion at O-Ringen Uppsala

2022.

You are very welcome to share the joy

with us!

STRATEGY

Community,

SÖT

wise choices, and

communication

That is our focus when we move forward to make

O-Ringen a sustainable experience both for you as

participants but also for our partners and suppliers

as well as for us as a business. Three years has now

passed since we got a new owner directive with a

partially adjusted focus. Sustainability in combination

with an even more positive experience that creates

added value for more people has now been pushed higher

up on the agenda. This is not new for us, but it gets a

clearer focus than before.

compensated for their work and the Swedish orienteering movement

can and should count on us to shape cost structures that let

us actively create possibilities to develop as a continued financially,

socially, and environmentally sustainable event.

The change of direction and focus that we have made, is at once

both inspiring and challenging. We look forward to finally arranging

an O-Ringen with community, wise choices, and communication

as starting points and focus. These three starting points

consolidate the focal areas and enables both the organizer as well

as individual officials to contribute, with actions and behaviour, to

fulfilling the strategy for the next generation of O-Ringen.

MINDRE SÖT

This has led us to develop a new strategy that will lead us

into 2025. This in the light of us needing to move forward

with two postponed events behind us. The foundation for

our direction is global goals where good health and well-being

are obvious factors, and in our case, this includes our officials and

employees, our participants, partners, and host municipalities.

Consumption shall be sustainable, and production shall be decreased.

That requires consistently aware and wise choices, which

obviously also applies to transports. These issues are always on the

table when we look forward and make plans for future events and

the development of O-Ringen. Our arena and our competition area

are of decisive importance to us and others, including eco systems

and biodiversity. That means that the choices we make must be

well thought-out, deliberate, and wise, to achieve the lofty goals we

aspire to when we arrange and then close an event. To succeed we

must cooperate even more closely.

Economic sustainability has come into focus after two years with

postponed events. According to the new directives we shall have

sustainable finances, so we need to better identify the conditions

that create that possibility. We want our officials to be properly

Restrictions are easing

- now we long for O-Ringen!

On the 29th September the Swedish

Government will ease the majority of

the remaining Covid restrictions that

have been in place since early 2020.

This means that there will no longer

be a limit placed on the number of

participants or spectators at sporting

events.

“We are obviously really pleased with this

decision and can now begin the planning

for next summer’s big orienteering festival,

O-Ringen”, says Jens Lindquist, project manager

and acting CEO for O-Ringen.

"For two summers now we have had to go

without the fantastic orienteering adventure

that is O-Ringen and the sense of community

that it creates. For two summers we

have had to postpone not only O-Ringen in

Uppsala but also missed other big competitions

such as 10-mila and 25-manna

that were not able to take lace in Sweden.

As the restrictions are finally being lifted,

the organisers of these events can finally

get started with some serious planning and

begin to take place again."

"We can’t wait to welcome orienteers to

O-Ringen again. We have had a really tough

time with two cancelled events, but now we

can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel

and gather some serious momentum in

the planning again” explains Jens Lindquist,

project manager for O-Ringen Uppsala.

Jens and the organising clubs in Uppsala

are working towards welcoming orienteers

from all over the world next summer. It is

already possible to enter via the O-Ringen

homepage to secure your place at O-Ringen

- the world’s largest orienteering adventure -

next summer.

We are

obviously

really

pleased

with this

decision

Kan spindeltråd rädda världen?

Visste du att spindeltråd skulle kunna

stoppa en jumbojet i luften? Och att

Spindelmannens tråd skulle hålla även

utan stunttricks?

Anna Rising, professor i veterinärmedicinsk

biokemi vid SLU, Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet,

och forskare vid Karolinska institutet, forskar på

konstgjord spindeltråd och dess många användningsområden.

Vi tog ett snack med henne för att

höra hur hon hamnade i detta spindelnät.

Hej Anna! Hur kommer det sig att du började

forska kring spindlar och spindeltråd?

Det var lite av en slump. Jag var färdigutbildad

veterinär, men ville forska och letade efter projekt.

Då hittade jag en doktorandplats på SLU

som var ett EU-projekt som syftade till att ta

fram konstgjord spindeltråd. Mitt projekt var att

använda spindeltråden till ortopediska implantat;

t.ex. senor och ligament. Jag insåg snabbt att det

saknades kunskap kring konstgjord spindeltråd

och att man faktiskt aldrig förut hade lyckats ta

fram det. Mina efterforskningar kring spindeltråd

tog mig ut i vildmarken i Sydafrika där jag fångade

hundra spindlar av en art som spinner den

starkaste tråden och vars tråd inte drar ihop sig

av vatten, något som var viktigt för ett material

avsett för ortopediska implantat. Vi använder fortfarande

DNA från dessa spindlar i vår forskning.

Forskningen visade sig även vara användbar

inom andra områden än ortopediska implantat.

Bland annat har vi genom att härma hur spindeln

producerar sin tråd kunnat ta fram vissa typer av

läkemedel på ett mer effektivt sätt, vilket bl.a. kan

ha betydelse för nyfödda barn med andningssvårigheter.

Vilken är din största forskningstriumf?

Att vi lyckades! Ingen hade någonsin gjort

det tidigare. Detta var första gången som det

lyckades. Det var särskilt roligt att vi skapade

spindeltråden utifrån grundvetenskapliga insikter,

vi imiterade naturen. När man utforskar naturen

kan man ofta hitta de mest otroliga lösningarna

som vi faktiskt kan använda i samhället idag. Det

vi forskade om har bidragit till något konkret och

användbart som är till nytta för samhället på sikt.

Orienteering


O-Ringen Uppsala 2022 has a very concentrated concept

without in any way renouncing the orienteering experience.

This is possible because Uppsala has many urban nature

reserves that has been preserved for outdoor life.

The O-Ringen City is situated on Ultuna, 6

km south of Uppsala city. It is easy to get to

Uppsala by train, bus, airplane, boat or car.

If you live on or near O-Ringen City, you

have cycling distance to all of the stages (4-8

km) and close to experiences and activities

in Uppsala city and its surroundings. Bring

your bike!

Bicycle distance

If you live on or near O-Ringen City camping,

you have cycling distance to all of the stages

(4-8 km) and close to experiences and activities

in Uppsala city and its surroundings.

Bicycle is an environmental and wise

choice of means of transport in Uppsala. The

short distances allow you to maximize your

experiences during the days. So we really

recommend that you bring your own bike or

rent/borrow a such.

As a complement, we will also offer transport

by bus to all of our stages at the main

arenas from the O-Ringen City.

Satellite parking

The satellite parking is located at the exit

of the E4 Highway. From here, as a participant,

you get a short and smooth bus ride

to Arena Pattons hage for stages 1 and 2 in

Nåsten, Arena Sävja for stage 3 in the north

of Lunsen and Arena Flottsund for stages 4

and 5 also in Lunsen.

No parking is offered at the arenas.

Trains from all directions

stop in Uppsala, both

long distance trains and

comuter trains. The train

stops at Uppsala resecentrum in the middle of

the city from where you reach both the arenas

and O-Ringen City with several city bus lines

operating Uppsala. There are several buses that

operate Uppsala with long-distance buses.

Plane and boat

Close to Uppsala there

are two airports, Arlanda

and Västerås airport.

From Arlanda you can

travel to Uppsala by commuter train or bus and

from Västerås there are buses.

There are also options to travel by ferry to

Stockholm, Kapellskär or Grisslehamn. From

here it is about an hour's journey to Uppsala,

by car or bus.

Car

Uppsala is close to most people

and is easy to get to. If you travel

with your own car and caravan /

motorhome, you will probably turn

off from the E4 or from one of the major country

roads 55 or 72 and get to the O-Ringen City by

Ultuna a little south of the city center.

O-Ringen Uppsala offers several

accommodation options. Uppsala

offers a wide range of hotels and

hostels. At O-Ringen City, 2400

campsites and accommodation on

hard surface are offered. In addition,

there are plenty of private homes for

rent. All accommodation is booked in

our booking portal at oringen.se.

Camp ground

O-Ringen City camp ground is situated on

Ultuna, only 15 min (4 km) by bike and 4

km with car from Uppsala Central station.

O-Ringen square is located in the middle of

the camping area and you can jump on the

stage buses directly from here. Although the

distance to all of the stages are 5–8 km so

biking (or walking) is a good choice.

The following service features

are available at the campsite:

• Toilets

• Water and tables for dishwashing

• Emptying of latrine

• Charging stations for phones/computers/

tablets

• Kiosks with a simple selection of breakfast

and snacks

Hard surface

Accommodation on hard surface is situated

very close to O-Ringen City camping at

Ultuna in Uppsala.

Accommodation on hard surface is a

shared simple accommodation form. You

bring your own mattress, linen and towels.

Toilets and showers are available. No access

to kitchen.

Private rentals

Private individuals can post their accommodation

for rent during O-Ringen. Our

partner Nordic Travel ensures that the

accommodation is conveyed smoothly and

safely for both the landlord and the tenant.

The objects are both villas and apartments as

well as summer cottages and caravans in and

around Uppsala and Knivsta.

The supply is replenished as new items

come in so if you do not find something at the

moment please check back in a few weeks.

The competition area consists of two parts.

A rolling, wooded area with a significant

climb closest to the arena, and an area with

big and small houses a bit further away from

the arena. Despite the short distance the

track includes both woods, park, and city

terrain. Fredrik Wigertz is responsible for

the route planning of the Bagheera relay, and

he promises that the runners will encounter

typical challenges in the sprint orienteering.

They need to find he control points

fast and be able to choose fast and energy

efficient routes. Long stretches of shrubbery

and large buildings forces the runners to

reconsider their route choices. There will

also be simple forkings so they will need to

maintain their own orienteering.

Arena Studenternas

The competitors are club teams. Clubs are

welcome to build teams together if they cannot

form a complete team within the club.

Teams consists of four runners, one from

each classes D14, H14, D16 and H16.

STAGE 1 & 2

NÅSTEN

O-Ringen Uppsala 2022

starts where

it ended in 1980

Last time O-Ringen was held in

Uppsala was in 1980. Back then the

competition was concluded with

the last stage in the nature reserve

Nåsten. Now, a little over 40 years

later, we are starting O-Ringen

Uppsala 2022 where we last ended it.

The arena is beautifully situated in Pattons

hage just 15 minutes bicycle ride from the

camping site at O-Ringen City. The name

”Pattons hage” arose after the famous

general George S. Patton visited in Sweden

in 1945 and watched a Swedish military

exercise at the site.

Nåsten offers varied

wilderness terrain close to the city

The Nåsten nature reserve has large areas of

old pine forest, ideal for runners, growing

on small hills and marshy areas. But it also

offers several other types of terrain. Close

to our arena in Hågadalen there are hiking

areas with many trails, short and steep,

slopes and further out you get a sense of

wilderness.

There are intricate areas with short lines

of sight and areas with many, sometimes

very large, boulders.

Sample leg from Nåsten, orange difficulty. The red

route choice is the shortest while the green one is

safer but quite a bit longer. The blue route is safe

at first, but it will be somewhat harder to take the

control points. Which route will you choose?

The longer routes will test the skills of all

orienteers.

This can be seen in a larger number

of trails, especially close to our arena in

Hågadalen. Both nearby and farther out you

can get a feeling of real wilderness.

Unlike Lunsen, Nåsten is characterized by a larger variation

in the terrain. A few larger bogs are interspersed

with intricate wilderness terrain in the eastern parts

that is a reserve and therefore has been spared from

forest exploitation for several decades. In all this there

are denser areas, meadows, and flat rocks, and in

the western parts also some aspects of forestry and

agriculture. Runability is generally good to very good,

largely because of the flat terrain, but it can be affected

by vegetation, where especially wild rosemary in

the larger bogs can impede the running speed. During a

beautiful summer, the bogs can be entirely dry, and the

opposite if the summer is wet. Some larger and smaller

trails cross the reserve and there are some forest

roads outside of it. Roads allow high running speeds,

but you will need very supple ankles if you want to run

fast on the smaller trails.

pace and be ready for

Sprint in a classic environment. In the

heart of the student areas of Uppsala

with the newly built ”classic” Studenternas

as arena we offer a high-class

elite sprint competition with exciting

path selection possibilities. The

runners are offered a variety of terrain,

from densely built-up student residential

and union areas to parks and

environments of cultural and historical

significance.

One of the most famous landmarks of

Uppsala, the pink castle Vasaborgen from

the 16th century is located in the middle of

the area. The wooded city park Stadsparken,

bordering the waters of Fyrisån, is also a

part of the competition area.

– The character of the competition

area varies heavily and will test the skills

of the elite runners. They need to be able

to change pace and be ready for various

kinds of orienteering to succeed, says route

planner Kate Morrison. The arena will offer

high class arena feeling with results on big

screens and grandstands that lets everybody

see the runners reach the finish line on the

pitch at Studenternas. Outside the arena, in

the nearby park, there is both a playground

as well as lovely areas for a picnic in the

competition area.

occurrence of spruce, especially in the

lower lying areas closest to the arena.

This does reduce the line of sight but

without reducing runability. In these areas

the underbrush is instead lower, consisting

mainly of wild rosemary and bilberry sprigs.

There is a large number of paths in the

woods close to the built-up areas of Sävja,

where the arena is located. But further

south there is more and more wilderness.

The area is completely unaffected by

forestry. The longest legs will reach some

areas with windthrows.

» Stage area NORTHERN LUNSEN


Thursday July 28 2022

The northern parts of Lunsen borders the

residential area Sävja in southern Uppsala and

is a popular area for outdoor activities that

consists of a larger number of trails that might

help on the easier routes but complicate things

on the harder ones. The trick is to make the

right choices and to know where you are. The

longer and harder routes will reach a beautiful

area in the eastern parts of Lunsen that are

a bit more hilly than southern Lunsen where

stages 4 and 5 will be decided.

The ground is light to moderately hilly and

the line of sight, as well as traversability, is

mostly good.

The arena for stage 3 is Sävja IP and

consists of a couple of football pitches and

several adjacent activity areas close to the

residential area Sävja.

This is more of

a challenge for

the mind than

for the body

STAGE 4 & 5

SOUTHERN LUNSEN

Lunsen - one of the

finest orienteering

areas in Sweden!

The southern and middle parts of

Lunsen are among the finest orienteering

areas in the whole of Sweden

and must be experienced. The terrain

looks like something out of a fairy

tale with a multitude of small hills,

bogs filled with wild rosemary and flat

rocks covered in reindeer lichen.

Despite the proximity to Uppsala Lunsen

mostly consists of untouched, pathless, wilderness.

But in the area closest to the arenas

in Sävja for stage 3 and Flottsund for stages

4 and 5 there is a large number of trails that

will be used for routes that require them.

For the harder routes, the lightly rolling

country creates a challenge that is more

strenuous for the mind than for the body. It

will, in other words, be exciting orienteering

in fantastic and enjoyable terrain. Whether

it is the finest terrain in Sweden or not is for

you to decide.

The two final OL-stages at O-Ringen

Uppsala 2022 have their arena at beautiful

Flottsund where the Fyrisån river empties in

Ekoln, the northernmost part of Lake Mälaren.

In this area you will find beautiful walking

areas and natural bathing places.

Sample leg from Lunsen, orange difficulty. The red

route choice is shorter while the green one is safer.

» Contactless punching SIAC

All MTBO participants at O-Ringen Uppsala will

use the Sportident Air+ system for contactless

punching. Using SIAC brings a whole new

dimension to MTBO and enhances the feeling

of orienteering at full speed even more. Vital

seconds can be earned when controls can be

visited without stopping.

MTBO takes place within

cycling distance of O-Ringen City

The MTBO competitions at O-Ringen Uppsala 2022 will be held in close

proximity to Uppsala and O-Ringen City. All five stages are just a few

kilometers from O-Ringen camping. Also, at four of the five stages the

arena is shared with foot orienteering, which we hope will create a great

atmosphere for competitors in both disciplines. There is therefore an

opportunity to take part in both MTBO and foot O, as well as making it

easier for families who want to participate in both disciplines.

Stage 1

Along Uppsala’s western edge you will find

Hågadalen Nåsten, a rich and varied nature

reserve. Within the nature reserve you’ll find

agricultural landscapes, lush groves, dark forest

areas, bare rocky terrain and swarming bogs.

The reserve has been used by humans for millennia,

so today you can enjoy habitats teaming

with biodiversity, and also discover lots of exciting

ancient remains. O-Ringen MTBO starts

with a long distance race, with both route choice

legs and more intensive orienteering. Technicality

of the trails for riding varies substantially,

from narrow trails on rocky tops, bridges over

bogs, downhill sections, technical MTB trails,

fast paved trails, and forest trails. The finish line

is found at Arena Pattons Hage, the same venue

as for the foot orienteering stage.

PHOTO PETER HOLGERSSON

Stage 2

Vårdsätra forest is a small and beautiful forest

in southern Uppsala. The forest is close

to residential areas and is popular for outdoor

recreation. The nature is rich and varied

with coniferous forest, deciduous forest,

hazel groves and old pastures. Almost all of

our Swedish tree species and several foreign

species grow here. In terms of cycling, it is

mainly fast paved paths, but also forest paths

and MTB tracks as well as asphalt in built

up areas. Stage 2 is a middle distance race

with a lot of route choice within a small and

dense path network. As in stage 1, the finish

is located at Arena Pattons Hage together

with the foot orienteering.

Stage 3

Stadsskogen (”The city forest”) is situated in

central Uppsala, just a kilometer from the

castle. It is actually a park, but due to its size

and character, it bears great resemblance to

a typical Swedish mixed forest. Coniferous

forest dominates, and the area has been a

nature reserve since 2005. Stadsskogen is a

popular outdoor recreation area for Uppsala

residents. Stage 3 will be a sprint distance

event in Stadsskogen's labyrinth of fast hard

trails and narrow forest trails. Plentiful

micro-route choices will ensure that it’s easy

to get lost even though you are almost in the

middle of the city. The finish line is found at

arena Kåboängen, located in the northern

part of Stadsskogen.

Stage 4

Norra Lunsen is a large and high-lying forest

area. On barren rocky terrain, lean and

sinewy pines grow with plenty of wetlands

in between. Deciduous trees are in the clear

minority, with only a few aspen and birch

trees to be found within the mostly coniferous

forest. The fourth stage in Lunsen will

be a long distance race with route choice legs

crossing a variety of different terrain types,

including narrow trails inside Lunsen, dense

path networks close to suburban areas, and

pine forest trails towards Hågaån. The finish

line is located at Arena Flottsund with the

foot orienteering.

Stage 5

Årike Fyris is located along the Fyrisån river

just south of Uppsala city. Along the western

edge of the area are two of Uppsala ridge’s

heights, Ultuna- and Sunnersta ridges. Ancient

waterways run along the ridge and river. The

ancient castle on Sunnersta ridge marks the

important role of the Fyris river. The ridges

also consist of valuable natural environments,

rich in typical dry slope flora and sand-living

insects. During the final stage chasing start,

O-Ringen cyclists will encounter a completely

different type of terrain: ridge terrain with

short steep slopes up to 30-40 meters, as well

as more flat sections and built up areas. A

dense dirt, gravel and sand path network and

route choice legs characterise the final middle

distance race. The finish is the same as for

stage 4, located at Arena Flottsund with the

main O-Ringen foot events.

the five stages. During stage 1, 4 and 5 there will be

a shared arena for orienteering, MTBO and Trail-O, and

SHOPPING

For all tastes.

Uppsala has a unique mix of small local boutiques,

specialist shops and modern shopping malls, all within

easy walking distance within the city centre. Start in the

charming shops beside the cobblestone alleyways near

the Fyris River, and then stroll along the pedestrian street

where you will find famous chain stores, brand shops

and shopping malls.

EVENTS

Next year, O-Ringen Uppsala starts early, already in

February, with an online O-Ringen Torus competition.

Digital TempO has been established as a fun and difficult

competition during a time when we could not compete in

ordinary competitions.

It is therefore timely to introduce this competition also on the

largest orienteering event in the world. Competing in this digital

event will also give you a taste of the terrain before the summer

event. Just like O-Ringen, the digital event will include 5 races,

7–12 February. This schedule includes a free day, where perhaps we

may provide a special event to discover Uppsala. For those of you

that have never tried TempO, it is a challenge to quickly translate

the map to the terrain and vice versa.

TempO is therefore also an excellent practice for regular

orienteering. The competition will mainly include forest course,

similar to the ones during O-Ringen Uppsala, but also in the

city. O-Ringen Torus will be arranged in collaboration with

Torus (torus.yq.cz) and with quality controls from experienced

organizers. Some kind of price will behold the winner, but more

about prices and other practical information will be published on

the social media of O-Ringen. However, you can already visit the

Torus website to practice your skills in reading maps.

FOOD & DRINK

A lovely atmosphere and

great food.

Whether you want to eat a lot or a little, outside

or inside, Uppsala has a wide range of bars and

indoor & outdoor cafés.

At destinationuppsala.se/guides you will find tips

such as the best street food in town, tasteful coffee

bars and all the inns, bodegas and brasseries in

Uppsala that are worth a visit.

pssst...

There are over 140 outdoor cafés in Uppsala and

just as many reasons to visit one of them. Eat and

drink something while enjoying the sun for a while

and watching people walking by. A great way to

enjoy the atmosphere in Uppsala.

pssst...

Carl Linnaeus is one of the world’s most famous scientists. Nowhere else are

there as many traces of him as in Uppsala. Walk along one of the Linnaeus

trails to his summer residence in Linnaeus’ Hammarby, visit the Linnaeus

Museum, which was his home, or enjoy the calm in the Linnaeus Garden – a

green oasis in the middle of Uppsala. linneuppsala.se

pssst...

Just three kilometres from Uppsala city centre is the

Gränbystaden Shopping Centre with over 160 shops,

restaurants, cafés and other services. Here, among other

things, is the first 4DX cinema auditorium in Sweden.

NATURE

Take it easy, in the middle of the

city or just around the corner.

Take a walk in the Årummet waterside development along

the Fyris River. Relax in the City Garden or one of the other

parks in the city centre. Only 15 minutes away, you will find

bathing areas, hiking trails and hidden spots deep in the

forest. Or how about a ride on the Lennakatten narrow-gauge

heritage railway through the beautiful summer Uppland.

A wealth of experiences.

Uppsala’s attractions range from large-scale concerts and sports

events to intimate gigs, exhibitions and displays. Throughout the

summer, there are concerts and entertainment on the outdoor

stage at Parksnäckan (“The Park Snail”) in the City Garden,

where popular Swedish artistes and children’s favourites can

often be heard.

CULTURE & HISTORY

A pink castle.

Uppsala Castle was built by King Gustav Vasa in 1549 and has

played a major role in our Swedish history. It has been the scene

of several dramatic events involving bloodbaths, conspiracies,

plots and murder, and not least the abdication of Queen Kristina,

which took place here in 1654. Today, the castle is home to

the County Governor, but also houses three exciting museums:

Uppsala Art Museum, the House of Peace and Vasaborgen

(Uppsala Castle Museum). You can also enjoy Uppsala’s best

views from here with a roof-top walk on the castle roof.

MIAOW!

Do you know Peter-No-Tail? The famous cat lived in Uppsala

and left his paw prints here. Nowadays, you can meet him in

his play park, on guided walks and as a statue. Pussyfoot over

his own pedestrian crossing to the district of Åsgränd, where he

lived with his beloved Maja Gräddnos (Maya Cream Nose),

but which was also home to Elaka Måns (Mean Magnus), his

armour-bearers Bill & Bull and the other cats.

BOOK TIPS

More Pearls

and Curiosities

in Uppsala

“Marvel at everything, even the most

commonplace.” — “Omnia mirari

etiam tritissilma” This motto of Carl

Linneaus appears on a plate at the

entrance to the Linneaus Garden on

Svartbäcksgatan, Uppsala, Sweden.

The motto has been a principle of

authors John Ringh and Lars-Åke

Skagegård as they wrote “Fler Pärlor

och Märkvärdigheter i Uppsala”

– “More Pearls and Curiosities

in Uppsala.”

When you are in Uppsala for the O-Ringen,

in the summer of 2022, the classic sights of

the city will be readily apparent. John and

Lars-Åke have written a guide to unexpected

and less known places in Uppsala.

The book introduces readers to a “gasque,”

a traditional party at a Studentnation.

Readers may be horrified by Dalpelle’s

execution, then enjoy the Skytteanska

Garden, along with fika at Café Uroxen.

The authors move freely among archbishops,

poets, bandy players, princes, storytellers,

and a cement queen.

These are a few of the “pearls” to which

the reader will be introduced. The history of

trains to Uppsala and through the Uppland

countryside is covered in some detail. Places

like Engelska Parken, Seminarieparken,

Galgbacken Domarringen, and the Skytteanska

Trädgarden are introduced.

Other Uppsala curiosities discussed

include the mosaic in Gottsunda Church,

the Prince Gustaf statue outside Carolina

Rediviva, and the artwork Poetisk viloplats/

Poetic Resting Place in Tullgarnsparken.

You’ll find “Fler Pärlor & Märkvärdigheter

i Uppsala” to be an invaluable guide to

the commonplace and the unexpected in

Uppsala, during the O-Ringen week and any

other time.

PÅ TURNÉ

O-Ringen on tour

During the late summer and autumn,

O-Ringen has been doing O-Ringen

on Tour with our partner Suzuki. The

tour is ongoing so we will show up at

upcoming events as well.

The purpose is to meet all of you who usually

participate at O-Ringen and get to talk

about what you look forward to in Uppsala

and at our future O-Ringen destinations,

discuss how we can develop O-Ringen together

and to simply be at the competitions

and at the arenas again.

So far we have visited the World Cup in Idre,

the Youth Championships in Falköping, the

Swedish Championships in Strömstad and

Daladubbeln.

On November 13-14, we are at the

O-event in Borås. Hope to see you there!

Hemdagars (“Home"-Ringen)

a success among Swedish clubs

Vi har bestämt oss, vi är överens. Kartan är ritad,

kompassen inställd.

Målet är att bli en grön fabrik.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, O-Ringen has been cancelled two

summers in a row. This summer, “Hemdagars”, a kind of "Home-Ringen” concept,

was created to provide participants with an opportunity to go orienteering

and feel connected to the O-Ringen community.

The concept was a great success - towns

and orienteering clubs throughout Sweden

arranged their own “Hemdagars” events,

where courses were planned in local forests

that were appreciated by many participants.

“We wanted to contribute opportunities

for physical activity. The most important

for us was that people could get out and

walk, jog or run an orienteering course”, says


Niclas Lidström, project manager of “Hemdagars”.

The result of “Hemdagars” was really

great; it was appreciated by clubs throughout

the country. Thanks to our main sponsors

Alewalds, Biltema, Svenska Krämfabriken,

Silva and Bagheera we were able to offer

plenty of lotter prizes to lucky winners

drawn from those who took part.

Ett liv närmare naturen fick

Karna att flytta till Åre.

Nu laddar hon inför

O-Ringen 2023.

Hösten 2018 gick Karna Thorsson runt hemma

i Uppsala och längtade efter en förändring. En

önskan om att komma närmare fjällen, lära sig

att åka skidor och få springa mer i bergsmiljö.

När hon fick se att Åre kommuns samhällsbyggnadskontor

sökte nya medarbetare tog

det inte lång tid innan ansökan var inskickad.

Några veckor senare fick hon veta att hon var

kallad på intervju och resten är historia.

Idag arbetar Karna som planarkitekt på Åre

kommun. Tillsammans med sina kollegor utvecklar

hon detaljplaner som talar om hur

mark- och vattenområden får och inte får användas

i kommunen. Detaljplanerna är viktiga

instrument för en hållbar och långsiktig planering

av samhället.

”

Jag trivs jättebra på mitt nya

jobb. Sedan är det så lyxigt att ha

så fantastisk natur direkt utanför

dörren när man slutat för dagen”

Raka motsatsen mot Uppsala

Karna är ett välkänt ansikte för många orienterare

och tävlar sedan flera år tillbaka för OK

Linné i Uppsala. Idag är hon en glad och aktiv

motionär där träningen styrs utifrån dagsform

och känsla. Sedan flytten till Åre har hon börjat

träna med Åre OK, som är den enda orienteringsklubben

i kommunen.

– Orienteringen i Åre skiljer sig väldigt mycket

från det jag är van vid i Uppsala. Här är det oftast

väldigt kuperat med långa sluttningar och

få detaljer. Alltså raka motsatsen mot Uppsala,

berättar Karna.

Ser fram emot orienteringsfesten

O-Ringen arrangeras som bekant i Åre 2023

och Karna ser fram emot att var en del av arrangörsstaben.

Hon med i gruppen som arbetar

med förberedelserna inför elitklassernas

sprintetapp i Åre by.

– Om någon frågar mig vart man ska åka och

bada på aktivitetsdagen så vet jag i alla fall vad

jag ska svara. Mitt bästa tips är att åka upp till

Ullådalen och ta ett dopp i Ullån. Det är väldigt

uppfriskande!

O-Ringen in Åre 2023

It has been an intensive summer preparing for O-Ringen Åre 2023, making the

most of the snow-free months. With the pandemic forcing postponement of the

event by two years, we lost access to the area around Åre Björnen, where two

stages were planned to take place. Forthcoming construction works prohibit

use of this arena in 2023.

“Together with the course planners we

begun to explore the areas that had potential

to host one or two stages and quickly found

a solution that we are satisfied with”, says

Magnus Johansson, competition director for

O-Ringen in Åre.

The Norwegian course planners proposed

an additional stage in Ånn, and one stage in

Järpen. This means that the Åre event will

take place as follows:

• Stage 1 Trillevallen, long

• Stage 2 Trillevallen, long

• Stage 3 Järpen, middle

• Stage 4 Ånn, middle

• Stage 5 Ånn, long

“The area in Ånn offers good terrain to

run in and we think that it is big enough to

host two stages”, explains Magnus Johansson.

That Järpen was offered as a solution was

thanks to a discussion in the early planning

stages that were put to one side. Now those

plans for a stage in Järpen will come to

fruition, although the stage will take place

higher up the hillside than the area near the

village that was originally considered. The

area offers high quality terrain that will work

well for a middle race.

“Parts of this area offer really nice terrain;

I would honestly say among the best you will

find not only in Järpen but in the Jämtland

mountains. I am really satisfied with the

solution to hold a stage in Järpen and we

have received really positive things from

both the mappers and the course planners”

says Magnus.

Competition director

O-Ringen Åre 2023

The mappers Jerker Boman and Kalle Engblom

have now spent just over a month in

the area working on a new map. Although an

older map exists, it had not been updated for

several years and so the mapping duo were

faced with a huge job to draw the new map.

Even Ånn has been visited by our mapping

team this summer. Two Czech mappers

visited in order to finish the Ånn map, a job

that was completed thanks to the lifting of

travel restrictions permitting other European

citizens to travel to Sweden this summer.

“It was fun to be able to be here again

and work on the map”, said Ales Hejna, who

worked with Milan Bily to add the final

missing details to the map in west Jämtland.

This means that the majority of the mapping

work is complete for the five stages in

Ånn, Trillevallen and Järpen. Next summer

the sprint map will be completed so that it is

up to date with the latest construction work

in Åre village.

In other news, recruitment of volunteers for

O-Ringen in Åre is ongoing. We are fortunate

to have great support from Norwegian clubs

in the Trondelag region who are now also

permitted to travel to Sweden and Jämtland.

For most of the past 18 months, coronavirus

restrictions have prevented all Norwegian

citizens from travelling to Sweden without the

need to quarantine upon return to Norway.

“It is great that our Norwegian course

planners have finally had the chance to get

out in the forests after 1.5 years without that

opportunity” says Niclas Lidström, project

manager of O-Ringen Åre.

During the late autumn all the course

planners and controllers will come together

among other things go and check the starts

and control sites in the Jämtland forests.

Speaking of the Norwegians, this autumn

the Norwegian clubs have also been visited

by project manager Niclas Lidström to

present the opportunities that O-Ringen can

create for their organisations. There were

happy faces all around when O-Ringen visited

Wing OK, based just outside Trondheim,

this August.

Intensive work is ongoing to secure accommodation

for all participants in Åre 2023. First

and foremost accommodation is planned to

be offered in holiday homes, apartments and

similar ski accommodation. However, the

possibility for campervan/motorhome and

caravan parking is also being explored.

“Next summer, when O-Ringen takes

place in Uppsala, we will open the booking

portal for cabins, apartments and other

accommodation”, says Niclas Lidström,

O-Ringen Åre project manager. “We will do

our best to provide as much accommodation

as possible”.

TRILLEVALLEN

ÅNN


Welcome to Smålandskusten 2024

A scenic and classic O-Ringencamping in Döderhultsdalen in the middle of the central parts of Oskarshamn.

With the municipality of Oskarshamn

in the middle of the coast of Småland

we can offer coastal terrain as well

as inland terrain typical of Småland

at three different arenas during the

week. The precise location for the

three arenas will be announced during

the latter part of 2021. That part of

the work is still ongoing.

Regarding accommodations there will be

a shared camping site in beautiful Döderhultsdalen

valley within walking and cycling

distance to the central parts of Oskarshamn

and sea bathing. Do you prefer a cabin,

hotel, or private rental accommodations?

Everything is possible in Smålandskusten.

There are also fantastic opportunities for excursions

if you are interested in art, history,

adventures,

the red cottages of Småland, bathing in our

lakes, boat tours in the archipelago or if you

just feel a bit playful.

Oskarshamn is a playful and powerful

region that is used to receiving hundreds of

thousands of visitors each year. You do know

about Astrid Lindgren’s world, Glasriket,

Kalmar castle, Västervik archipelago, Öland

and Blå Jungfrun, don’t you? We welcome all

the worlds orienteers with open arms and intend

to give you the best possible conditions

for good competition, a wonderful sense of

community and fantastic experiences.

A very warm welcome!

’’BLAND DE BÄSTA I KLASSEN

PHOTO DESTINATION JÖNKÖPING

Titta på vår nya fina förpackning.

Där finns ett löv som

talar om hur mycket koldioxidekvivalenter

(CO2e)* som

knäckebrödet i paketet har

skapat – från åker till butik.

420 gram, närmare bestämt.

Vi har räknat in allt. Från tillverkningen

av gödsel för

åkrarna, kablarna som leder

strömmen till vårt bageri,

energin för att göra pappret till

våra förpackningar, bränslet

till traktorerna, lastbilarna...

ja, du fattar – allt.

”BÄST I KLASSEN”

MEN INTE NÖJDA.

Experterna som hjälpte oss

göra detta var lika noggranna

som de blev lyriska. ”Bland

de bästa i klassen”, sa de. Och

tittar vi på andra så verkar det

stämma. Men trots allt vi har

gjort, vilket inte är lite, är vi

långt ifrån nöjda.

Vi följer vår

klimatpåverkan

från fält

till butik

VI BAKADE

FOSSILFRITT REDAN

2013.

Alla våra ugnar värms upp

av grön el som framställs i

Dalarna. Överskottsvärmen

återvinns för att värma lokalerna

och vattnet. Den första

värmeåtervinningen installerade

vi redan 1954, bageriet

blev helt fossilfritt redan 2013.

DIREKT

FRÅN VÅRA LOKALA

RÅGHJÄLTAR.

Rågmjölet i vårt knäckebröd är

inte bara garanterat svenskt,

det får vi från bönder som

Anton Öhlund utanför Hedemora

– men aldrig längre bort

än 34 mil från vår egen kvarn.

Ja, vi har en egen kvarn så att

rågen kan komma så direkt

som möjligt från gårdarna till

oss, utan att åka omvägar. Allt

för att minimera transporter.

INGET GÅR

TILL SPILLO.

Hållbarhet handlar också om

att ta tillvara. Den lilla mängd

degrester och brödspån som

vi inte kan ta tillvara, skickar

vi till en annan bonde här i

Dalarna. Han har kor och

de älskar knäckebröd i vilken

form det än kommer.

FRÅN 1817 IN

I MORGONDAGEN.

Leksands Knäckebröd började

med gammelfarmors mormor

som föddes 1817, bara ett stenkast

från där vi har bageriet

idag. Och receptet är exakt

detsamma. Som du förstår är

kvartalsekonomin inget för oss,

vi räknar sekler. Precis som du,

tänker vi mycket på vad vi

lämnar efter oss till våra barn.

Följ med oss på resan mot en

fin framtid genom att konstant

sänka den där siffran i lövet

på paketet. Utan att vi någonsin

gör avkall på smaken.

VI KAN GÖRA SÅ

MYCKET MER.

Även fast vi tagit bort all onödig

plast i vårt bageri och väljer

svensk kartong (som är dyrare

än den importerade) för att

undvika onödiga transporter,

så räcker det inte. Vi måste

bli ännu bättre om vi ska ha en

värld värd namnet att lämna

över till kommande generationer.

Det är ett konstant

pågående arbete som vi gärna

Situation report from Jönköping!

The clubs in the region are ready to work with O-Ringen

and Destination Jönköping to organize and arrange

O-Ringen 2025: Annebergs GIF, Bodafors OK, Bottnaryds IF,

Forserums SOK, IF Hallby SOK, IKHP Huskvarna, IK Vista,

Jönköpings OK, Lekeryd-Svarttorps SK, Mullsjö SOK, SOK

Aneby, Tenhults SOK, Ulricehamns OK, Vaggeryds SOK and

SmOF.

The decision to arrange O-Ringen here in 2023 (as the intention

was before Covid-19) was made in December 2019. At that time,

a club council was organized with Göran Carnander as chairman.

Work soon started with a focus on finding a location for O-Ringen

City and all the stages. We knew from the very beginning that we

wanted Elmia fairground with the beautiful view over lake Vättern

as O-Ringen City.

– Due to Covid-19 we will not be able to welcome you to

Jönköping until 2025. We are now working hard to figure out where

we want all the arenas, acquiring environmental permits and contacting

landowners and hunters during this fall and winter so that

we can hopefully present a concept next summer. This is to give us

ample time to develop good maps for all disciplines, says Göran.

What we already know about O-Ringen 2025 is that we are

Jönköping by night.

having a O-Ringen City around the Elmia fairgrounds and that the

region offers varied terrain with the Vätterbranterna in the east, till

terrain typical for Småland in the west and international terrain in

the south. In addition to this terrain the region also offers a bounty

of tourist attractions like moose parks, climbing, apple orchards,

Store Mosse national park, Husqvarna factory museum, baths,

and city. All this will give us a week 30 filled with activities during

O-Ringen 2025!

Description

The course is in terrain with clear and connected features such as roads, larger paths, buildings and open land. The controls on a

green course must always be placed on handrails and must provide reassurance that the competitor is following the correct route.

Control features may be path bends, path junctions, telegraph posts, buildings or other clear features or objects.

The terrain is the same as for green courses, i.e. clear and connected features, e.g. roads, larger paths, open land and buildings. The

controls on a white course must mark only the end of one leg and the start of the next. The control features must therefore be easily

identified and distinct. As well as green course features, controls on white courses may also be on e.g. boulders, crags, fences and

similar features.

Yellow courses can be in more difficult terrain but runnability and visibility must still be good. The terrain must have a connected

network of roads, paths, fences, waterways, open areas etc. Control points may be on more difficult features, for example on the top

of a very distinct hill, but must always have a clear attack point. There must be a clear catching feature behind controls.

Orange and red courses must use runnable terrain, with gentler hills and forest, preferably with areas of cultivated land. Terrain

details must be clear. Compared to green, white and yellow courses, more difficult control features may be used, for example larger

re-entrants, distinct ridges, hills and crags. There must be a clear feature a maximum of 200 m before the control and a clear catching

feature behind it.

Same as for orange courses but you can encounter all types of terrain.

All types of terrain may be used. Very physically tough terrain should be avoided. All types of control feature may be used. Compared

to orange and red courses, purple courses place higher demands on, planning skills, choosing quick routes ahead of safe routes and

finding controls without clear catching features behind them.

On blue and black courses, the difficulty should always suit skilled orienteers, even if anyone can compete. The increased difficulty

level compared to other courses is because more of the orienteering uses contour features, detailed terrain and smaller features.

Same as for blue courses but you can encounter all types of terrain.

results. Everyone participating in the Introduction class gets a prize.

The final stage is a chasing for all main classes, except Introduction,

Youth and DH10 – DH12.

SHORT CLASSES

This is the competition for those who want a little more flexibility

in start time and shorter courses, but who are at the same time

attracted by the competition. Free start time means you can start

whenever you want between 8.30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Chasing start

is applied on stage 5.

OPEN CLASSES

Open Classes will allow you to select courses with a variety of

lengths and difficulty levels, letting you challenge yourself or a

friend. These are avaliable for Foot-O (12 classes) and MTBO

(3 classes). Entry to Open Classes is not restricted by age or gender.

The course lengths will be a little shorter when it is the middle

distance for Foot-O on Friday. Every Open Class has open start

times for each stage.

MTBO CLASSES

MTBO runs over five days and in 4 out of 5 days the arena is

shared with the Foot-O. Assigned starting times for stage 1-4,

followed by an exciting chasing start that will determine the

overall winner on stage 5. MTBO is fast-paced and is very much

about making the right path and making quick decisions. The

map is similar to the one used in regular orienteering. The biggest

difference is how paths and roads are shown on the map. The road

and the path's ride are reported where you can simply say that the

longer the lines on the map, the faster the path can be cycled.

As before, it is allowed to double (introduced before O-Ringen

2019 in Kolmården) in both OL and MTBO. However, you may

not duplicate with the intention of reconnoitering before participating

in the other branch. If you participate in the Elite Tour, you

may not participate in MTBO stage 4.

TRAIL-O CLASSES

In the Trail-O competition map knowledge is in focus. Each control

has up to five alternate screens. You must remotely determine

which screen is correctly placed according to the control ring

on the map and the control description. You compete in a class

determined by its difficulty level, rather than age and gender. The

competition takes place in easily passable terrain, that is trails and

roads that can be navigated by wheelchairs, bicycles, etc.
