Olympics, World Championships and O-Ringen

Just before New Year, Göteborgs-Posten published an article titled “Idrottsåret

2026” (“The Year in Sport, 2026”) in its digital edition. Guess which three

events it talked about? Of course, the Winter Olympics in Italy and the Football

World Cup in North America – and O-Ringen in Gothenburg! Sure, being named

alongside two of the world’s biggest sporting events must mean that we’re

creating something momentous? Of course, this can also create a bit of

performance anxiety.

Just like my predecessor, I must say we’re

on the run-in now. Plans are being finalised

and set into action by our officials, all with

a focus on giving you, our competitors, the

best O-Ringen week possible.

Gothenburg will offer a large campsite

in lovely surroundings, technically difficult

and physically demanding courses, an elite

sprint race within the old city moat, great

cycling tracks, Trail-O at the mouth of the

Göta Älv river, saltwater bathing and, last

but not least, a summertime Gothenburg in

all its glory.

We hope this issue of O-Ringen

magazine gives you many great suggestions

for how O-Ringen week in Gothenburg

might look, in terms of all the extra activities

you could try alongside the competitions.

Reading the article in this issue where

my old coach Lennart talks about juniper

bushes in Piggestensbergen, the memories

come flooding back of how we cleared

it “every weekend” (which may not be

entirely true but it felt that way when I was

15). It’s true that there is a place named

after my father – Leo’s Square – which was

maybe cleared a bit TOO well in one area.

Enjoy that on stage 2. A warm welcome to

Gothenburg 2026!

PEO BENGTSSON

AN OBITUARY

On the morning of Sunday 28th December,

Per-Olof “Peo” Bengtsson died peacefully at

the age of 92. Peo Bengtsson’s contribution

to the development of orienteering, both in

Sweden and across the world, is enormous.

Among many other things, he was involved

in starting up O-Ringen in 1965.

Peo Bengtsson died following a few weeks

of illness, surrounded by his close family.

Unquestionably, nobody has done and

experienced more within orienteering than

Peo Bengtsson.

He started orienteering early and has

many merits as an orienteer, across all age

classes. Peo took part in his first orienteering

competition as early as 1949 and succeeded

in winning his class, the starting point for

a lifelong involvement as a competitor and

coach.

His successes as an elite competitor include

two bronze medals from the Swedish

Night Championships. As a veteran he won

17 World Masters gold medals, the most recent

being in 2023, where he won the Long

distance in Slovakia

During the early 1980s, Peo worked as a

regional consultant for Skåne orienteering

region, tasked with improving uptake and

publicity in orienteering. During these years

he was the brains behind several memorable

initiatives, including a coast-to-coast relay in

partnership with Radio Kristianstad.

He also ran a wide-reaching training and

mapping project, where unemployed young

people were taken on as mappers, resulting

in almost 300 new school and neighbourhood

maps in Skåne.

Peo is of course best known as our greatest

orienteering “missionary”. Along with Sivar

Nordström, he set up O-Ringen in 1965. The

aim was to raise the profile of orienteering

and prompt improvements in the quality of

orienteering maps. What started as a few

evening competitions soon grew to become

a huge event. The importance of O-Ringen

for the development of orienteering in

Sweden and throughout the world cannot be

overstated.

Peo was also a pioneer in organising orienteering

tour holidays and the early 1970s saw

him create the concept of Höst Öst. Over the

years there were over 50 Höst Öst tours, as

well as several round-the-world trips with an

orienteering theme.

He is reported to have organised 6,220

competitions in 120 countries; numbers that

are difficult to comprehend.

Peo Bengtsson’s influence on the development

and spread of orienteering across

the world is impossible to measure – it’s

invaluable. Peo will be greatly missed both

by his family and by the entire orienteering

community.

Registered for: PreO-A

– After having to stop running due to injury, I discovered Trail-O

a few years ago..

Accommodation during the week?

– I’ll be staying in a hotel.

How many times ave you been to O-Ringen?

– I’ve competed at 39 O-Ringen.

has been a good experience, with good courses.

What other things are you planning to do during the week?

– I’ll probably try to get out into Slottskogen on the “rest

day” and have a wander down Avenyn, with all its cafes and

restaurants.

And of course, a question about bathing – saltwater or

freshwater?

– Probably freshwater – maybe because I worked at a swimming

pool for 32 years!!??

DET HANDLAR OM SÖMN

Bakom medaljerna –

Tove Alexandersson

Hon har sprungit hem VM-guld i orientering, dominerat

världscupen och gång på gång visat att hon tillhör världens

främsta uthållighetsidrottare. Men när Tove Alexandersson

berättar vad som är allra viktigast för att prestera på topp handlar

det inte bara om intervaller, teknik eller styrketräning utan också

om sömn och återhämtning.

KungSängen tar nästa steg i sitt

arbete för bättre återhämtning

genom ett långsiktigt samarbete

med Tove Alexandersson. Företaget

ser samarbetet som ett

naturligt steg i sitt växande engagemang

inom idrott och folkhälsa.

”Jag märker ganska stor skillnad

på min sömn när jag kommer hem

jämfört med när jag är iväg. Hemma

vilar jag upp mig i en säng från

KungSängen och jag är verkligen

jättenöjd med den. När jag är

bortrest längtar jag numera alltid

hem till min säng”, säger Tove.

För en idrottare som tillbringar

stora delar av året på resande fot

är kontrasten tydlig. Hotellsängar

och nya miljöer kan fungera, men

det är hemma som kroppen verkligen

slappnar av. Det är också under

sömnen som grunden läggs

för nästa prestation.

SAMARBETE FÖR VÄLMÅENDE

OCH PRESTATION

”Tove står för professionalism,

ödmjukhet och en långsiktig syn

på prestation som vi verkligen

identifierar oss med. För oss

handlar samarbetet om att lyfta

återhämtning och sömn som en

avgörande del av välmående och

prestation, både inom elitidrotten

och för alla som rör på sig i vardagen”,

säger Peter Gustafsson, vd

på KungSängen.

BESÖK I FABRIKEN

Under ett besök i fabriken fick

Tove följa tillverkningen på nära

håll och prova ut en säng anpassad

efter hennes behov. En kropp

som dagligen utsätts för hög

belastning kräver rätt stöd och

avlastning, och valet handlade

lika mycket om kvalitet som

om komfort.

Stolt

partner

”Det är skönt att veta att sängen

jag sover i både är bekväm och

tillverkad med omtanke om natur

och människor”, säger Tove.

Hållbarhet över tid är ett ord som

ofta återkommer i samtalet med

Alexandersson. Det gäller både

materialval och produktion, men

också synen på den egna kroppen.

”För mig är återhämtning en

grundförutsättning för att kunna

prestera på hög nivå över tid. Det

känns bra att samarbeta med

ett företag som delar min syn

på långsiktighet och respekt för

kroppen.”

Richard Stenmo, butikschef på

KungSängen i Enköping, minns

mötet med Tove i fabriken. ”När

jag hjälpte Tove att välja rätt säng

fokuserade vi på det allra viktigaste

för henne som elitidrottare,

att få riktigt bra sömn som ger

återhämtning och goda förutsättningar

inför nästa dags träning

eller tävling.

När hon provade sängen Bellehamn

blev valet enkelt. Den ger

effektiv tryckavlastning och bra

stöd, har naturmaterial av hög

kvalitet och är utformad för att

främja djupsömn. Det är egenskaper

som bidrar till god återhämtning

och långsiktig hälsa”, säger

Richard.

KLUBBTÄVLINGEN SOM GÖR

SKILLNAD

En av de mest genuina delarna i

samarbetet mellan KungSängen

och Tove är klubbtävlingen under

O-Ringen. Den handlar inte bara

om att vinna utan om att stärka

föreningskänslan, engagera unga

och lyfta det som är kärnan i

orienteringen, gemenskapen.

För Tove är vinsten, ett klubbbesök,

mer än ett pris. Det är

en möjlighet att möta barn och

ungdomar, dela erfarenheter och

inspirera nästa generation att

fortsätta utvecklas inom sporten.

Att få komma ut i klubbarna, träffa

dem som är i början av sin resa

och ge tillbaka till den rörelse som

har betytt så mycket är en viktig

del av varför samarbetet finns.

Bakom varje startnummer finns

timmar av träning och engagemang.

Samarbetet mellan

KungSängen och Tove handlar

därför om mer än prestation. Det

handlar om att skapa förutsättningar

för ett hållbart idrottande

och om att stärka den gemenskap

som bär sporten, från unga

talanger till världselit.

Travel

To Göteborg

It’s easy to get to Gothenburg! However you

want to travel, getting to O-Ringen 2026 is

no problem.

It’s just 3hrs on the train from Stockholm

or Malmö. You can get all the way here

from Sundsvall or Östersund in a day. Many

national and international long distance

buses like Vy and Flixbus also have routes to

Gothenburg.

In Göteborg

Trains, long distance buses and the airport

bus all stop at Gothenburg central Station/

Nils Ericson Terminal. From here you can

reach the whole city by tram or bus from the

stops Drottningtorget, Nordstan or Brunnsparken,

all within 5 minutes’ walk.

If you’re staying near central Gothenburg

there’s no need to worry about the timetable

as there is always a tram or bus on the way. If

you’re staying further from the centre, local

trains and express buses travel in all directions.

Check which train or bus stations are

near your accommodation.

You can fly to Landvetter international

airport. From Landvetter, the Vy airport bus

goes every 20 minutes to central Gothenburg,

with a journey time of 25 minutes.

By car, several major roads connect Gothenburg:

the E6 from the north or south,

the E45 from the north, the E20 from the

north-east and RV40 from the east.

You can use Västtrafik’s

ToGo app both to plan your

journey and buy tickets for

then get suggestions about

your nearest stop and the

route to your destination.

Between O-Ringen City

and Gothenburg city centre

O-Ringen City is around 9 km as the crow

flies from Gothenburg city centre. This

means that it takes 35 minutes to cycle to

Gothenburg Central station, right in the

middle of town. There are a few options

using public transport. The easiest way is

using local bus route 35, which will have

extra buses running. If you’re taking the car,

there will be visitor parking at O-Ringen

City.

Foot-O

Travel to and from each stage

O-Ringen buses

O-Ringen buses will travel to

all Foot-O stages – perfect for

everyone staying at or close to O-Ringen City!

The bus stop will be in the middle of

O-Ringen Square and within walking and

cycling distance of the whole campsite. If

you’re staying near O-Ringen City and want

to use the bus, cycling or walking to the bus

stop is best, as parking is limited. If you’re

travelling by car from further afield, we

recommend driving to our satellite parking

instead.

It’s easiest to buy tickets in advance online

but you can also buy them at Competitor

Services.

Car

For anyone travelling using their

own car, there will be satellite

parking for all Foot-O arenas. Satellite parking

for stages 1 & 2 is around 5 km north

of the arena and is signposted from the E45.

For stages 3-5, satellite parking is around

Volvo Sörred, with access via Hisingsleden.

There are a limited number of parking

spaces available and permits must be purchased

in advance. Buses will travel from the

satellite parking to each arena. Your parking

permit is also your bus ticket, so you don’t

ned to buy any tickets separately.

For Stage 3 in the centre of Gothenburg,

we recommend using public parking (commuter

parking, shopping centres, multistorey

carparks). The table below shows

some of the larger car parks convenient for

onward public transport to Linnéplatsen.

You can also park here for other stages and

finish your journey using public transport.

Update! Following requests from competitors,

we will also offer (a limited number

of) parking spaces at Volvo Sörred for Stage

3, with buses to and from the arena, and

with a separate parking permit to the other

stages.

Tram/Bus/Local train

All Foot-O stages are being planned

so that they are accessible by

public transport.

Stages 1 and 2: It takes around 13 minutes

by commuter train from Gothenburg

Central station to Bohus station, followed

by a walk of around 1,500m to the Arena.

You can also take bus 402 from the commuter

train station, though this has a more

limited capacity.

Stage 3: Stage 3 is held right in the city

centre! Take public transport to Linnéplatsen

and then follow the signs to the Arena.

You can get to Linnéplatsen on tram routes

1, 2 and 6, and on bus routes X2, X3 and

25. Example journey times: From Järntorget

4 min, Brunnsparken 10 min, Frölunda

torg 12 min, Hjalmar Brantingsplatsen 20

min, Mölnlycke centrum 30 min, Kungälvs

Resecentrum 35 min.

Stages 4 and 5: Tram routes 2, 5 and 6

stop here, as well as bus 25. The walk to

the arena is signed from Väderilsgatan and

Temperaturgatan stops. The journey from

Brunnsparken in central Gothenburg takes

20 minutes + 800 m walk to the arena. We’ll

be able to give more information about

tickets later but can already point out that

when you use a 1- or 3-day ticket, one adult

can travel with up to three under-21s on

the same ticket – great for the environment

and your wallet! To see how you could use

public transport from your accommodation,

use Västtrafik’s ToGo app.

Cycle

You can cycle to most of the

Foot-O stages. If you are camping

at O-Ringen City, we especially recommend

the clearly signposted 9 km ride through

central Hisingen to Stages 4 and 5. Stage

3 is just 13 km away, past Backaplan, over

Hisingsbron and through the city. On the

way back, why not stop at Ringön and

sample something from one of its many

breweries? There will be bike parking at all

Foot-O arenas.

O-Ringen City at Stora Holm

O-Ringen City will be close to Gothenburg city but in the wonderful rural setting

of Stora Holm, north of Gothenburg.

O-Ringen Square will have restaurants serving

home-cooked Swedish classics, as well

as food trucks and kiosks. There will also be

sports shops, a barbecue area and activities

including a labyrinth and beach volleyball.

There will also be a youth activity area right

next to the square.

It will be possible to order groceries

online for delivery, so you don’t have to

think about going out to buy food after a

day of orienteering. We’re teaming up with

with Coop Väst to offer daily deliveries to

O-Ringen City. More information will

follow in the programme.

O-Ringen City is just 20 minutes

from central Gothenburg, in the

middle of Hisingen, Sweden’s fifth

largest island. The seaside bathing areas

are always busy in summer, so to make

bathing easier for competitors, we will

organise a bathing bus from O-Ringen

City to Sillvik bathing area.

The opening ceremony will be held at the

Bagheera Relay – it’s only a 2.5 km bike ride

away!

the pitches have already been booked.

As usual, the campsite will offer access to

service stations, mostly with vacuum toilets,

laundry and dishwashing facilities. We

will offer (a limited supply of) warm water

at several service station. Showers will be

available in school buildings at O-Ringen

Square.

pitches – though these may also sell out, so

don’t wait to secure your pitch. Pitches are

available from 16th–26th July.

Wherever possible, pitches are allocated

so that you can camp with your own club

and even region, whether or not you’ve

booked a pitch with electricity.

2x Indoor orienteering

On Sunday 19th July between 9am and 11am, you can

compete in a unique orienteering event in Aeroseum’s

underground hangar, within cycling distance of O-Ringen City.

This unique facility in Säve consists of a 22,000 m2

cavernous hangar. The hangar was created in 1955, is

around 30 m underground and was built by Göta

Flygflottilj (F9), now called Säve Flygplats. At Aeroseum

you can learn about the history and development of flight:

everything from Icarus to the aircraft of today, helicopters

and other flying machines, both civil, military, national

and international. There aren’t as many staircases as a

traditional indoor event but how often do you get to run

in an underground hangar, with planes and helicopters as

control sites?

and tricky staircases. Chalmers alumni can revisit old memories,

or you can take this chance to look about if you’re

thinking of studying there. Not into engineering? Then you

can simply enjoy some great indoor orienteering!

Once you’ve finished the event, take a stroll into Gothenburg

centre to watch the Elite Sprint.

On Wednesday 22nd July, our activity day, Chalmers

University of Technology will host a more traditional indoor

event at its Johanneberg campus. Expect quick decisions

O-Ringen Discgolf

New for this year! On Thursday afternoon we invite

you to the very first edition of O-Ringen disc golf.

AleDisc Golf Center is offering a complete event package,

including a bus journey (for those who want it)

from O-Ringen City, the match itself and the possibility

of food.

Welcome to one of the world’s top disc golf centres,

with courses high on the world rankings (#3 och #12).

More information in the Programme.

O-Ringen golf

Our traditional O-Ringen golf will be organised on

the activity day. Chalmers Golfklubb invites you to a

complete event package: single player with a shotgun

start, Stableford format and a communal lunch to

finish off.

Register at Min Golf. More information in

the Programme.

Drop-in weddings and christenings

The Church of Sweden has attended O-Ringen for many

years and this year in Gothenburg is no different! Backa

Parish and vicar Andrea Schleeh work in the area of

O-Ringen City. Andrea is an orienteer herself and has

enthused her colleagues ahead of their work at O-Ringen.

They will host a meeting point for all orienteers who need

a chat, or just sit in the tent and relax. We’ll also be able

to offer drop-in weddings and christenings! Weddings can

take place in the church tent, at your club’s area on the

campsite or in a natural setting. We can also arrange for

you to marry in a church. In order to get married, you must

first apply for a certificate of inquiry into possible impediments

to marriage (Hindersprövning) with the Swedish

Tax Agency. You must bring this certificate, ID and your

rings. You will be able to book a time for a church wedding

at: www.svenskakyrkan.se/backapastorat/o-ringen. This

website also gives details of activities taking place during

O-Ringen week, both in the tent and in the parish. For

anyone who was not christened as a child but who would

like to be christened, for example before a confirmation

(maybe even an orienteering confirmation?), this is also

possible at O-Ringen. If the person to be christened is

under 18, permission will be required from all legal guardians

and you will need to book your appointment on the

church’s website by 9th July. Anyone over 18 can choose

an appointment time during O-Ringen week. You will only

need ID with you.

In order to also be able to offer civil weddings, we have

contacted a civil registrar who can perform weddings at

O-Ringen Square or another location during the week. For

this, you will also need a certificate of inquiry into possible

impediments to marriage (Hindersprövning)from the

Swedish Tax Agency, as well as ID. Contact O-Ringen at the

address borgerligvigsel@oringen.se for more information.


Food at O-Ringen

In Gothenburg, we’re determined that

competitors have good and varied food

options across the whole O-Ringen week!

O-Ringen Square

At O-Ringen Square, caterers j.mat & mer

KÖK & Kafé will run the restaurant and

food trucks. They are looking forward to

welcoming O-Ringen and all our competitors

to Stora Holm.

The food will be served buffet-style, with

a variety of menu options and with salad

included. There will be fish, meat and vegetarian

options as well as different carbohydrates

including pasta, potatoes and rice.

Meatballs and mashed potato will be on the

menu every day.

In the evenings we will also offer meze,

there will be a pizza night and of course,

something involving prawns. At their permanent

restaurant, Stora Holms Säteri, there

will be a grill and finer dining.

As well as food, the restaurant will serve

coffee, beer, wine and cider.

Alongside food trucks serving gyros,

hamburgers, fruit and waffles, we think

there’s something for everyone and a good

variety.

Stora Holms Säteri

As well as the restaurant at O-Ringen

Square, Rebecca and Johan Fogler (j.mat

& mer KÖK & Kafé) run their permanent

restaurant at Stora Holms Säteri, right next

to O-Ringen City.

– We usually say that we serve modern

and traditional Swedish food with the whole

world as our larder, which is usually appreciated

by guests of all ages, says Johan.

Order online – collect your groceries

at O-Ringen Square

For anyone preferring to cook your own

food, we are teaming up with Coop Väst to

be able to provide a daily online food delivery

to O-Ringen City. More information

will be available in the programme.

Food at our arenas

As with previous years, you will be able to

eat Wok/Nasi Goreng or Leksands Pizza at

our arenas. New for 2026, according to your

requests, we’ll also have kebab on the menu.

As well as this, there will be local Gothenburg

flavours at some stages, including Halv

special hotdogs with real mashed potato,

and hopefully more local produce.

Gåverud Kök & Catering will be our local

supplier of salads and freshly baked rolls.

We promise new salad varieties and variety

during the week. We’ll also repeat last

year’s success of having coffee mopeds at our

Foot-O arenas.

Sustainability and food

Together with our competitors, we are working

actively to minimise our waste:

• We will avoid single-use items as much

as possible and will serve a lot of the food on

china and other re-usable materials.

• At our arenas, you can get your coffee in

your own mug instead of a single-use cup.

We also want to make it easier to see the

climate impact of each menu item, so we

will display carbon footprints on signs at

our kiosks.

30% off tickets to Liseberg for O-Ringen competitors

When to come to Gothenburg in

summer, Liseberg is a must! O-Ringen

competitors get 30% off entry and

ride passes – so you can ride as much

as you like. If you would rather take it

easy, play the chocolate roulette wheel

and maybe eat something yummy, you

can book your Liseberg now, when you’re planning your holiday week!

Audition for SVT’s quiz show “Muren” at O-Ringen Square!

SVT is looking for know-it-alls and

competitive souls for series 8 of the

quiz programme “Muren”.

Are you your friends’ worst nightmare as

quiz opposition? Do you like the idea of

taking on a challenge that looks impossible?

If you answered “yes,” it’s time to

apply for SVT’s quiz Muren!

In Muren, participants from all over the

country compete in general knowledge

across different subject categories.

You can challenge five known experts in

their respective subjects, with the aim of

“tearing down the wall” of knowledge. To

succeed in this programme, you need to

have a broad base of knowledge, as well

as having a cool head and a killer instinct.

However, you shouldn’t let yourself get

scared by the experts or pundits! We can

promise a great day at SVT Gothenburg’s

TV studio with a chance to take home both

glory and cash, but above all a chance to

impress the whole of Sweden with your

general knowledge. SVT is looking for contestants

aged 18 and over. Come and meet

us, and try our test.

The test is a quiz with a mixture of

questions from subjects that can be

included in Muren, for example Sport,

Entertainment and Round the World.

How long the quiz takes depends

on how quickly you can answer the

questions.

If you’re successful in getting to the

next stage, we’ll contact you again for

more tests and personal information.

If you don’t want to take part yourself

but know someone who would be

perfect, come and let us know!

See you there!

Muren and SVT will be at O-Ringen

Square on Sunday 19th July, from

10am-8pm.

Training maps in exciting terrain

Photo: Peter Holgers-

O-Ringen 2026 in Gothenburg is getting closer and it’s

time to plan some training in typical Gothenburg terrain!

We will be offering two representative but very different

training areas.

Skändlaberget

Skändlaberget is a small forest with typical Gothenburg coastal

terrain in a flat landscape, 80m over sea level. Here we have set

middle distance courses where you can practise adapting your

speed in detailed terrain, just 100m from O-Ringen City and

our campsite.

The terrain is a lot like that you can expect to meet on stages 4

and 5, and consists of many smaller hills, often with technical and

detailed contour features. The terrain isn’t very steep. Visibility is

mostly good but may be more limited in areas of deciduous forest.

From the hilltops you can enjoy panoramic views across Hisingen.

The name Skändla comes from the old Swedish word skin-haella,

which means an area of bare rock, open to the sun. The area

is part of an ancient settlement area that has been used by people

since the Stone Age and Skändlaberget is home to many archaeological

sites. The area is crossed by a wall running in an east-west

direction, which once marked the border between Sweden and

Norway, so the “Norwegian” part of the map is the northern half

and the “Swedish” part borders O-Ringen City.

Read more about our training maps on the

O-Ringen website. Take the chance to test out

this terrain before the competition starts!

Vättlefjäll

The terrain at O-Ringen in Gothenburg varies a lot between each

stage and our training areas are no different. At Vättlefjäll you’ll

find wilderness terrain that’s ideal when preparing for stages 1 and

2. Here you can try running on some classic tussocky marshes

and long grass, and can enjoy mostly great visibility and unspoilt

nature, especially on the longer courses, which have a long distance

feel. The environment is varied, with marshes, a mixture of

deciduous and coniferous trees, and both larger and smaller hills.

Shorter courses visit an old settlement area with more paths and

stone walls.

The area is part of Vättlefjäll nature reserve and is next to the

competition area for Stage 1. It’s a popular recreational area and

there are several walking trails passing through the area. There are

some traces of old settlements, such as walls, ruins and

trapping pits.

The area is easy to reach both by car and public transport, and it’s

possible to combine a visit here with a dip in one of the nearby lakes


Training tips for O-Ringen in Gothenburg

In Gothenburg you’ll find terrain that not only challenges,

but also rewards you! Expect varied terrain, wilderness

forest, large hills, tricky controls that give you that

special feeling when the map suddenly matches the

ground and the control is right where you expected.

Running here is less about your top speed and more

about orienteering sensibly, reading the terrain and

trusting your own decisions.

Here are a few training tips to help you take on the

course setters’ challenges and have fun along the way.

» THE COMPASS – YOUR BEST FRIEND!

When runnability is varied and you need to go round denser areas,

crags or marshes, it’s easy to lose your direction. The compass

is key here. Train in areas where you can’t run straight easily

and focus on checking your compass after every obstacle. Your

compass never lies – but sometimes, gut feeling does!

» CONTOUR TRAINING

Contour detail varies greatly from stage to stage but is important

everywhere. In more hilly areas, a mistake may mean both extra

climb in the legs and an uphill struggle mentally. In places with

smaller hills, it’s more important to visualise how the contour

shapes will look in reality. Ending up on the wrong hill or re-entrant

may mean big time losses, as relocation is difficult.

» ADAPTING YOUR SPEED

Run fast when you can, slow down when you have to. With some

good simplification, many legs on the long distance races give

you the chance to run hard before getting close to the controls,

where more precise orienteering is key. Practise consciously

adapting your speed: push hard where the terrain lets you, then

dare to slow down over the last 50-100 m. It’s much quicker

to slow down slightly than to run quickly and go right past the

control. Train your traffic lighting and attack point skills.

» ROUTE CHOICE TRAINING

Route choice is vital in this terrain. Straight isn’t always

great, either on long or short legs. Runnability and steepness

really vary, even on the same map, and you have to weigh up

the tougher areas, technical risk and climb.

» FINE ORIENTEERING

Controls are often placed in detailed terrain and aren’t

always as visible as you might hope. There are sometimes

many small hills and similar shapes together, demanding

good map contact all the way to the control, so control

picking in technical terrain is great training for this.

» LOOK UP – FIND THE BEST LINES

Micro-route choices really matter. By practising looking up,

even on rough ground, and reading the terrain ahead you can

find faster lines between the long grass and crags. This also

lets you enjoy your beautiful surroundings!

» RUNNING AND PHYSICAL TRAINING

Your legs will have to work hard! Train up your strength and

balance. Run hill intervals in the forest, or why not mix it up

with some marsh football? A tussocky marsh adds to the fun,

with an extra chance element. Tip: Take an extra ball – the

first might get lost in the undergrowth!

» GET TO KNOW THE GOTHENBURG TERRAIN

If you want to arrive prepared, our training maps and local

competitions this spring give you the chance to get a

feel for the terrain, sharpen your technique and build your

confidence, whether you’re aiming for top results or just

enjoying the experience as much as possible.

» MENTAL TRAINING – PATIENCE

Maybe most important of all. Accept that it will feel slow

sometimes. This terrain is tough but it’s the same for

everyone! Those who stay calm, keep working methodically

and trust their plans have a lot to gain when others get

stressed.


Axel and Elsa share the same joy in

orienteering – and a habit of winning

They aren’t related but they share

a surname, age, top results in

their respective classes – and

attitude towards orienteering. For

Axel Persson of FK Herkules and

Elsa Persson of Göteborg-Majorna

OK, orienteering is about friends,

community and that feeling of flow

in the forest. Both 14-year-olds also

think that O-Ringen in Gothenburg will

be a lot of fun.

Axel Persson is most at home when the

orienteering is toughest. Heavy terrain,

tricky route choices and technical challenge

bring out his strengths.

– The more difficult the orienteering and the

tougher the terrain, the better, he says.

Elsa Persson describes her strengths in

another way but hints at a similar point.

– I think I’m often good at keeping ahead

of myself, as I can read the map at a high

speed without stopping, she says.

Two voices – the same drive

Both are 14 years old, both come from

Gothenburg and both have already made a

strong impression in their age classes. Axel

has dominated his class at O-Ringen, with

four straight wins in the last few years, while

Elsa has for instance won double gold

medals in the Götaland regional

championships, won O-meeting and been

first to the finish in Youth 10-Mila.

Despite these successes, the medals are

rarely the important thing when they talk

about orienteering.

– The most fun things are friends and

competition, says Axel.

The same is true for Elsa – as well as

getting to travel to new places.

Enjoyment and a part of everyday life

Both orienteers describe a day-to-day life

where sport doesn’t feel like a sacrifice. They

train a lot – but most of all because it’s fun

– I mostly train because I enjoy it, so it

doesn’t feel difficult at the moment, says Axel.

Elsa describes it in a similar way and says

that she doesn’t feel she is overly focused on

orienteering, but that she trains because she

enjoys it. Neither does it matter too much

outside of orienteering.

Non-orienteering friends might think the

sport is a bit odd and in Elsa’s experience,

her friends don’t really pay attention to it

and they usually talk about other things.

Technique and training

They agree even more when talking about

their recipes for success. Technique is

central – as is daring to rein in your speed to

get it right.

– Don’t run quicker than you can orienteer.

Really train your technique, on tricky

courses, says Axel.

Elsa emphasises the importance of

reading the map at speed, simplifying and

analysing mistakes afterwards.

Both do a variety of training. Axel combines

orienteering with athletics and does

technical training about twice a week. Elsa

runs about the same amount of training

with a map as without, and enjoys both

intervals and technical courses.

– You need a balance of technical and

physical training to have fun, she says.

Dreams without stress

Future plans are tentative. There are some

dreams there – but without any stress.

– It would be fun to represent Sweden at

a junior competition but I’m taking things a

year at a time, says Axel

Elsa has the same outlook and is taking

things as they come, without putting pressure

on herself.

O-Ringen – more than a competition

O-Ringen holds a special place in both their

hearts. For Axel it’s the most important

competition of the year.

– Staying at the campsite and hanging out

with all my friends is a lot of fun.

Elsa describes O-Ringen as more of a

feeling than specific memories.

– Summer, shared mealtimes with my

club, big arenas, a lot of people. It’s like one

big memory with a lot of small parts..

Both see competing when “everyone is

there” as a bonus.

– It’s fun! says Axel simply.

For Elsa it’s all about seeing all her orienteering

friends – because almost all of them

are there.

There’s some extra expectation ahead of

O-Ringen 2026 in Gothenburg, especially

as the different stages will give some real

contrasts

– It’s tough but nice. Heavy marshes and

great orienteering, says Axel.

Elsa is expecting physically challenging

courses with a lot of climb, a lot of variety

and decisive route choices.


Axel’s route choice tips

Control 1

Here I would run straight, unless the

terrain was very rough, in which case

I might run round a path. There are

a lot of boulders and hills to read to

the left and right when approaching

the track. After a track there is

a small hill with a crag, which

should be clear. I’d also look out

for the small green re-entrant

before the control.

Leg 1-2

I’d also run straight here.

I’d go to the open hilltop after

the first climb. After crossing

the small path (which might be

difficult to see) the craggy hill to the

left and maybe the boulder should be easy

to see. The entry to the control should be

straightforward, with good visibility, and

there are catching features both to the right

of the control and behind it (walls).

Leg 2-3

I would check how the light green area

looks. If it didn’t look so bad I’d run straight.

The marsh should be very clear and there’s a

hill just before the control. If that light green

area looked very slow I would run to the

right, round it. It’s a very safe route between

the marsh and the wall.

» ELSA’S TOP TIPS

Advice to other juniors

To those peers who might be wondering

whether to enter O-Ringen, their advice is

clear.

– Register. It’s fun. Nearly everyone is

there, says Axel.

Elsa says it will be fun no matter how well

the competitions go.

And with one last question about what is

most important, away from the maps, compasses

and results, the answer is identical

from both: friends.

3 tips for other young orienteers

Stay ahead of yourself – really important

If you keep track of where you’ll be going and

how, you can keep moving and have much

better flow in your orienteering and running.

Keep your map set – all the time

Key for a successful run, keep a track of your

direction using your compass.

Trust yourself

Make sure you know yourself, where you are

and where you’re going. You can make use of

other runners in the forest, but never totally

trust anyone else. They might not be going to

the same place!

Why should young people come to

O-Ringen in Gothenburg?

It’s really fun, there are a lot of people and

friends. You can also make new friends.

O-Ringen in general is a great experience. The

competitions are good, with great terrain in

Gothenburg. Gothenburg itself is a great city, too.

ELSA PERSSON


Mapper Lennart kept quiet about

his mistake – for 36 years

Where OK Alehof cleared juniper.

An artificial boulder, an extra

depression and an old secret. Since

1990, rumours have circulated about

Stage 1 of O-Ringen in Gothenburg.

O-Ringen Magazine has been looking

to separate fact from fiction.

It’s time to come clean, says

mapper Lennart Hålsjö.

The stream tumbles quickly down the northern

slopes of Piggestensbergen. Around

the foot of this detailed hill area, a blanket

of damp fog covers the mature, green spruce

plantation. Even though it’s only January, it

feels as if spring is starting to try and catch

its first breath for the year.

It was here in north-west Vättlefjäll that

the first stage of O-Ringen took place in

1990 and it’s here that the toughest courses

on the second stage of O-Ringen 2026 will

also visit.

One of those who knows this terrain best

in Lennart Hålsjö. He has lived locally for

69 of his 71 years here on Earth. “I moved

to Nol when I was two,” he says. Nol lies 4

km to the north. Lennart was also a mapper,

and land and wildlife manager, the first time

Gothenburg locals were working to convince

O-Ringen competitors that yes, there is

good terrain around this city. To succeed

with this, some measures were required

that few outside of OK Alehof know about.

Even fewer know about Lennart’s antics – a

secret he has held onto until now, through

Lennart Hålsjö walks through the terrain

at an impressive speed.

Här byggde Lennart Hålsjö sitt artificiella grönområde.


embarrassment. But first, we have to go right

back to the start.

The mapper and course setter have

different stories

O-Ringen Magazine has heard two

rumours. The first says that there’s a

depression near OK Alehof ’s clubhouse,

Dammekärr, which was excavated when

the easier courses needed an extra control

feature. It’s also said that an extra boulder

was built next to a gravel road near

Piggestensbergen. So we ring up the course

setter for the first stage, Magnus Stéen.

– I’m quite sure we put that boulder there.

I’m down in the cellar now looking for old

maps so I can compare them to newer ones.

That’s one way to prove it, he says.

But the course setter and the mapper

don’t agree. Lennart doesn’t remember this

boulder at all and doesn’t think it makes

sense to add another feature in an area that’s

already detailed. There might have been an

extra boulder on the map but I would have

remembered that. Lennart is also unsure

whether the depression was there as early

as 1990.

They do, however, have the same

memories of the extensive beautification

treatment the terrain underwent. It started

in 1988.

The dream of good Gothenburg terrain

– There was some pressure from elsewhere

in Sweden that Gothenburg should host

O-Ringen,” says Lennart Hålsjö. The competition

had been around for 25 years but

had never been held in Sweden’s second

city. At the same time, the terrain wasn’t

especially popular. According to Lennart

Hålsjö, one Stockholmer requested they

“chop down all that grot” at the Swedish

Championships in 1980.

– Our event organisation wasn’t the best

at that time, either, and the map quality was

inconsistent. There were still some older people

from neighbouring regions who refused

to compete in Gothenburg, says Lennart.

Organisers thought the terrain at Vättlefjäll

would nevertheless be enjoyable for

many people, so we chose to start the week’s

competitions here. There was just one problem:

the logical way for longer courses to

reach the arena went over Piggestensbergen.

– We weren’t prepared for some of the

re-entrants being so full of juniper bushes.

We were worried about queues forming

when we let about 20,000 people loose

in there.

There was only one thing for it – clear

them! Around 20 people spent 800 work

hours clearing and burning the bushes.

Course setter Magnus Stéen was one of

them.

– I’m not sure it’s okay to say this now,

but someone dragged a car tyre in there

when we had trouble lighting one fire.

– Our environmental policy wasn’t

perfect back then,” says Lennart Hålsjö.

The secret he’s carried with him, though,

isn’t about environmental crime.

Lennart’s embarrassing mistake

At that time, mappers used Indian ink.

There was some risk involved, as the ink

needed time to dry. Lennart became painfully

aware of this when he was sitting and

drawing green areas on an O-Ringen map.

– I managed to put my finger down and

created an extra blotch on Piggestensbergen.

It was on one of the areas where Lennart

and his friends had toiled away with their

saws a few months previously.

– Shit, I thought. So, what did he do? He

went up onto the hill and made the area

rougher again using some of the brashings

from their work and by chopping down a

few more juniper bushes and carrying them

there. He didn’t tell the others.

It’s only now – 36 years on – that Lennart

has dared to spill the beans. “It’s time to

come clean, I admit it.”

Today the artificial green area has gone

and that flat area has good visibility. But

what about the depression and the boulder?

Were they put there for O-Ringen and if so,

are they still there?

The truth about the depression and

the boulder

Lennart and Magnus get back in touch after

a couple of days of rummaging through old

maps. It hasn’t been easy, with a house move

and a flood affecting the base material. But

they think they know what happened with

the depression and the boulder.

We’ll start with the depression. It was dug

out during excavation works when the lit

exercise track was built at Dammekärr. It

was indeed dug out to be used as a control

site. But it wasn’t on the O-Ringen map, so it

was dug after O-Ringen

Where Lennart Hålsjö built his artificial green area.

And the boulder?

– I honestly have no memory of putting it

there. Magnus couldn’t give a proper answer

either, says Lennart.

A text arrives from Magnus. Apparently

the boulder wasn’t used at O-Ringen.

”I have a strong memory about something

to do with that boulder, but Lennart

remembers nothing. I’ll have to back

down,” he writes.

With that, the rumour about the boulder is

also debunked, officially at least. What do we

know about the terrain, then?

“He doesn’t exactly hang controls in

the treetops”

Lennart gets ready to train. Many of the

juniper bushes here are now dead. They

haven’t been caught in tyre fires but have

probably died away from too little light as

the forest has grown.

Despite that, it’s heavy going here and

Lennart reaches around 80% of his

maximum heart rate with brisk walking.

This will offer a real challenge – both

physically and technically – for those

battling on this steep hillside in the summer.

It isn’t something that course setter Rasmus

Larsson has shied away from.

– I’m looking forward to seeing how

many days of mistakes are made on Piggestensbergen

by all the competitors combined,

he said in an interview with O-Ringen

Magazine last autumn. Based on previous

experience, Lennart Hålsjö thinks we

should take Rasmus’ warning seriously.

– If you end up in the wrong

re-entrant here it can cost a lot of time, so

it’s important to orienteer all the way into

the control. And Rasmus doesn’t exactly

tend to hang controls in the treetops.

Lennart Hålsjö disappears over a hill

dusted with snow and into a deep

re-entrant. He reappears on the next hill,

this time shrouded in the heavy fog.

Despite walking, he’s still quick. He’s

mastered this surface and gradient. Then he

disappears for good and the forest is empty

and silent. It certainly wasn’t that way on

23rd July 1990 and neither will it be on 21st

July 2026.

Piggstensbergen for 69 of his 71 years.

Time for the 60th O-Ringen! Per Forsberg is

keeping track of more than just the elite runners

When O-Ringen comes to Gothenburg in the summer, it

will be the 60th edition of the orienteering competition.

Such a jubilee is of course cause for an extra celebration

and there are many questions; What awaits this summer

in Gothenburg? How has the event changed over these 60

years? How will it look in the future?

To answer these questions as best we can, we have chosen to

interview Per Forsberg, who this summer is working his 31st year

as O-Ringen’s commentator. From his commentary box he has

followed O-Ringen’s development over the past three decades. Add

to that a series of O-Ringen as a junior competitor and there aren’t

many years he has missed.

Per made his O-Ringen debut at a young age

– O-Ringen is a huge part of my life, exclaims Per. I’ve been going

since I was six years old. At the start I was too young to compete

and was just a spectator. Most of all I remember camping with

my club at the assembly area, as it was called then. O-Ringen was

synonymous with a week of camping for the Forsberg family.

In 1972, at 10 years old, Per competed at O-Ringen for the first

time. The event was in Eksjö and there were 8,253 competitors.

Per remembers that he chose to compete by himself, even though

he normally ran the pairs class with his younger brother Anders at

that time. Since then, the years as a competitor stacked up to 17,

with three stage wins over the years.

Started commentating in 1994

Per has always had a great interest in sport and commentary. At the

start of his career he commentated on a variety of competitions,

especially in Västerbotten, as he lived in Skellefteå during the 1980s

and 90s. “I took every job I was offered. I really enjoyed

commentating and work on all the smaller events I could. At the

same time, I dreamed of “proper” work on the radio.

It was in 1994, when Per was 32, that he made a breakthrough.

He got his dream job as a sport commentator at Radio Sweden

and that same year was also invited to commentate on the world’s

biggest orienteering competition – O-Ringen.

– It was a resounding YES to the O-Ringen job, says Per. I’ve

always had the approach that I’d take on a good job if given the

chance, and that was true here, he adds.

Since then, Per has been the O-Ringen commentator. To start

with it was a busy week of holiday from his Radio Sweden job but

in 2001 his employer put their foot down and Per’s extra commentary

work was no longer possible. He was forced to choose between

his “dream job” at Radio Sweden and commentating on O-Ringen

and other events.

– I chose to go freelance and have never regretted that decision,

says Per. As well as commentating on major orienteering competitions

across the world, Per has also had a variety of commentary

assignments on TV, including several Olympics and World Championships

in different sports – and today you can hear him on

Viaplay’s broadcasts from the World Cup in cross-country skiing,

and more.

Radio O-Ringen was born in 2003. Shortly after Per Forsberg left

his job at Radio Sweden, he started up Radio O-Ringen at O-Ringen

in Bohuslän and Uddevalla.

– Radio as a medium is close to my heart, says Per. I still listen to

the radio a lot now radio and think it’s a fantastic medium, where

you can reach a wide audience and communicate a lot of information

quickly. In other words, the perfect medium for an O-Ringen

week! This initiative wouldn’t have worked, however, without Ola

Fransson in charge of sound and engineering. Ola’s background as

a radio engineer was key to making Radio O-Ringen so successful.

Radio O-Ringen has been a staple of O-Ringen ever since and


many hours of radio have been produced even after the last runner

has come to the finish. The concept has evolved continuously to

arrive at today’s broadcast. For instance, there has been a lot of work

to feature children and youths, and create content for them, not just

with the commentary and Radio O-Ringen’s afternoon programmes

but also across the week in general.

– The most important thing for me is that children have a good

time and want to come back, Per explains. You have to feel like

everyone is there and that O-Ringen is something you don’t want

to miss. Children are important because they come with their families,

which is what retains the competition’s status as the world’s

biggest orienteering adventure.

Huge developments during Per’s time in commentary

With his broad knowledge, and great engagement and interest in

orienteering, Per Forsberg has become synonymous with O-Ringen.

As well as following the elite classes, Per knows exactly what’s

happening in the junior and veteran classes, as well as all the other

happenings at the event. His voice is now a major ingredient in creating

that magical O-Ringen feeling. But it’s not just Per’s voice that’s

important – he contributes a lot to the event behind the scenes.

– I have a lot of contact with the organisers and we’re in touch

just about every week. Every host area and organising team have

their own unique set of conditions, so we have to adapt. I’m often

involved in discussions about the arenas and the elite sprint, to

make these as entertaining and spectator-friendly as possible.

A lot has changed over Per’s 30 years as O-Ringen commentator.

One development that Per highlights as being important is the rest

day, which later became an activity day. And that we now finish the

week on a Saturday, to synchronise better with accommodation

bookings. The biggest change, however, is definitely technological

developments with the results service, administration and

electronic punching system.

– A clear example is when I started in 1994. There must have

been around 20 of us in the organising team who were involved

with commentary. Today there are just two of us – myself and Elin

Woxlin. Above all, it was the introduction of SportIdent in 1999

and bringing in Ola to oversee proceedings that have been the big

developments, Per comments.

The elite aspect is an important part of O-Ringen

The elite sprint is probably the most spectated orienteering event

in the world – which creates unique demands of the arena and

courses.

– The elite sprint is probably the most spectated orienteering

event in the world – which creates unique demands of the arena

and courses, says Per. I often contribute input and experience to

create the best possible event – both for competitors

and spectators.

– As well as the sprint it’s the fact that O-Ringen awards huge

sums of prize money (in an orienteering context), which motivates

elite runners to attend. I think that’s important – and if you ask me,

I also think O-Ringen should be part of the World Cup every year.

Perhaps not the whole week but at least some stages, Per adds.

– I think this unique showcase would be great for the World Cup.

Time for Gothenburg and the 60th O-Ringen

I sommar arrangeras alltså det 60:e O-Ringen i ordningen.

Tävlingen har arrangerats varje år sedan starten 1965, förutom de

två corona-åren 2020 och 2021 – vilket nu alltså gör att det är dags

för jubileum.

How do you feel about this year’s event in Gothenburg?

– I have a good feeling! We’ll have a great O-Ringen City at Stora

Holm on Hisingen and interesting stages with only short bus

journeys, Per answers.

What are you looking forward to most?

– Of course, the stage in Slottsskogen feels most exciting. It will be

great to be right in the middle of Gothenburg and to still be able to

offer such a tough and tricky orienteering area. It will be the defining

stage of this summer and I think people will really enjoy it, Per says.

What else shouldn’t people miss in Gothenburg?

– A visit to Liseberg. And a Paddan boat sightseeing tour, of

course, Per grins.

– I think this unique showcase would be great for the World Cup.

O-Ringen in the future

We ask Per for some predictions on the subject of O-Ringen’s future.

The only thing he knows for sure is that in the next 30 years, he

won’t be involved in the same way.

– I’m taking things year by year now, with the focus on this summer’s

event. Of course, we do have a few plans for 2027, where we’ll

be starting to work with more dynamic content on our channels.

I can already reveal that Radio O-Ringen will be reborn as Studio

O-Ringen, with more content going out on social media, which are

becoming ever more important for our audience.

Vad tror du blir viktigt för O-Ringen i framtiden?

– We anticipate some exciting developments when it comes to

the programme for the week, with sprint, indoor orienteering and

more being discussed. If you ask me, we’re not quite there yet and

I think most people would prefer today’s programme. People love

tradition and forest orienteering is undoubtedly what attracts the

most people, Per comments.

– I also think short distances between arenas and starts, and

being able to cycle from place to place easily, will be even more

important. The most important thing is that competitors have a

great time. It shouldn’t be difficult to have the whole family here

– it should be a fun week, with a relaxed atmosphere and great

orienteering, Per concludes.

BAGHEERA RELAY

Sunday 19th July 2026

Photo: Filip Andersson

Bagheera Relay

On Sunday 19th July, O-Ringen will

once again kick off with a fast-paced

Bagheera Relay.

The relay will take place in Tuve, 2.5 km

south of O-Ringen City, with four speedy

sprint legs for juniors up to age 16. Our

opening ceremony will take place alongside

the relay and the prize giving will take place

straight after the finish.

The competition area covers various

residential buildings, as well as larger public

buildings. Between these, competitors will

encounter walkways, grass, hedges and

playgrounds.

Interview with last year’s winners

Last year a Gothenburg team won the

Bagheera Relay. The winning team was Noel

Kjellberger, Moa Kjellberger, Emil Johansson

and Elsie Hördegårdh from IFKGöteborg

Orientering.

Congratulations to you all! How did it feel

to win the Bagheera relay?

– It was a lot of fun! It’s always more fun

to win together,” Elsie remembers.

– I love the Bagheera Relay because it’s a

sprint, both because I like that distance but

also because sprint means people can stand

all over and cheer you on.

Moa thinks the Bagheera Relay is a great

start to O-Ringen!

– Having all the people watching is even

more exciting.

Emil agrees that it’s great to be cheered

on by such a big crowd. He also likes that it’s

sprint distance, with less risk of big mistakes,

so you never feel like you’ve ruined the

race for your team. Elsie agrees and thinks

it’s great that the sprint is near the campsite,

so it’s easy to come and watch.

– It’s also important that the courses aren’t

too hard, so a lot of people dare to run.

What makes you such a good relay team?

Noel says that the club has a very strong

relay culture and many people think relays

are the most fun.

– We often encourage each other by preparing

together for relays. Running relays

turns orienteering into more of a team sport

and it’s important to remind each other that

it’s our performance as a team that matters,

not each individual leg.


Tips for the Bagheera Relay!

Keep contact with your own map.

There are lots of people running

and courses are forked, so it’s best

to stay in touch with your map so

you aren’t dragged to the wrong

fork or get lost. The forking means

there will be many controls near

each other that aren’t all yours,

and so many people running

together can be stressful. Always

check your control codes so you

don’t punch the wrong one. The

Bagheera Relay is special because

there are so many spectators. Try

to focus on the orienteering and

enjoy the sport instead of getting

stressed about it.

How to train for the Bagheera Relay.

It’s generally best to train sprint at

competition speed, ideally with a

forked mass start with your clubmates.

That way, you can feel what it’s

like to run fast with others and you

have to follow your own map because

of the forking. As with last year,

we’ll open a runners’ bank where

clubs can add teams looking for an

extra a runner, or runners looking for

a team.

ELITE TOUR STAGE 3 ELITE SPRINT

Wednesday 22nd July 2026

CHALMERSSPRINTEN


On Wednesday 22nd July it’s time for Stage 3 of the Elite

tour – Chalmerssprinten. For this stage, our international

orienteering stars will take on central Gothenburg and

spectators have the chance to follow the competition

close-up. In order for everyone to have the best possible

experience, and for a safe competition, some designated

spectator areas will be announced beforehand.

Terrain description

The competition area comprises both older city centre buildings

and larger, interconnected houses, as well as offices and commercial

premises.

The area has both flat and steep parts. Runnability is very good,

with 90 % hard surfaces and 10 % parks/grass. Car traffic is limited

and trams will be suspended in the area.

This will be an intense sprint in a part of central Gothenburg

that hasn’t been mapped for a long time.

Från Norge till Göteborg –

för orientering och studier

ANNONS

Närheten till Skatås gör det enkelt att träna tillsammans, och

genom Chalmers Orientering finns både gemensamma träningar

och sociala aktiviteter.

– Jag har bott här i två och ett halvt år och kan fortfarande träffa

orienterare i mitt område som jag inte har träffat förut.

Om hon skulle rekommendera andra orienterare att flytta till

Göteborg är svaret tydligt.

– Absolut. Kombinationen av orienteringen här och en så bra utbildning

fungerar väldigt bra. Jag tycker också att tre år på Chalmers

har gått väldigt snabbt.

Flytten över gränsen gav Mari möjlighet att kombinera två viktiga

delar av hennes liv – orienteringen och studierna. Nu väntar nästa

steg i form av en masterutbildning på Chalmers, parallellt med

fortsatt satsning på orienteringen.

Mari Eidsmo, uppvuxen i Trondheim – idag student på Chalmers tekniska

högskola i Göteborg.

Mari Eidsmo från Trondheim, Norge kommer från en riktig

orienteringsfamilj. Hennes föräldrar, storebröder och till

och med morfar orienterar. Själv var hon med från allra

första början.

– Jag tror att jag var med på de första tävlingarna innan

jag ens kunde gå.

Orienteringen följde Mari från barndomen, men blev snabbt något

mer än en familjetradition. Tävlandet och den ständiga jakten på

bättre vägval gjorde sporten till hennes egen drivkraft.

– Att tävla är det allra roligaste jag vet. Kombinationen av fysisk

och teknisk utmaning är det som motiverar mig.

För att ge orienteringen större utrymme i vardagen började Mari

tidigt se bortom Norges gränser. Efter studenten sökte hon en plats

där studier kunde kombineras med orientering på hög nivå, och

valet föll på Göteborg.

– Jag tror att Göteborg erbjuder en av de bästa orienteringsmiljöerna

i världen, och att kunna kombinera det med en utbildning på

hög nivå var avgörande för mig.

Till skillnad från många andra valde Mari stad före utbildning.

När hon hade bestämt sig för Göteborg började hon leta efter utbildningar

och fastnade för Design och produktutveckling (numera Teknisk

design) på Chalmers. Hon lockades av kombination av teknik

och kreativt arbete. I dag går hon sista året och planerar att fortsätta

med en master. Utbildningen har passat bättre än hon först trodde,

mycket tack vare det praktiska upplägget med labbar och projekt.

I efterhand framstår valet som mindre slumpmässigt. Enligt henne

är det vanligt att orienterare söker sig till just ingenjörsstudier.

– Man måste nog vara lite logiskt lagd, man är ofta lite kartnörd.

Utanför studierna är gemenskapen en stor del av vardagen. Mari

bor i ett studentboende tillsammans med många andra orienterare,

ofta bara ett stenkast från varandra.

FOOT-O STAGE 1 LONG DISTANCE

Monday 20th July 2026


Tuesday 21st July 2026

STAGE 1

LONG DISTANCE

Parts of the area lie within Vättlefjäll

nature reserve, a popular recreational

arena in north-east Gothenburg.

Of course there are some paths and

popular walking trails but once you

leave these, it’s “wild, beautiful and

awesome” as our Norwegian neighbours

would say. A very worthy start

to O-Ringen week!

The arena for stages 1 and 2 welcomes you

to Jennylunds IP, at Bohus in Ale. It’s hard

to believe that a few centuries ago, Vättlefjäll

was dominated by heather moorland after

the forest there had been felled to be used

for buildings in Gothenburg, as well as ships

for the port. The name fjäll (fell/open hill)

comes from that time. Nowadays, spruce

and other forest has spread and remained relatively

untouched for a long time. There are

few felled areas and trees that fall naturally

are left in situ. The word vättle reflects the

many water features in the area; lakes, marshes

and streams. There are traces of human

settlement in Vättlefjäll from around 6,000

years ago, when hunters and fishers roamed

the area and built camps by the water.

The area as a whole offers fun and varied

orienteering that requires many different

skills. You’ll encounter detailed hill areas

with good visibility, those classic Gothenburg

tussocky marshes, some steep terrain

and bilberries, meaning kilometre times will

be relatively slow on this stage.

Welcome to Vättlefjäll – an area worthy of

O-Ringen!

DID YOU KNOW?

Several courses visit an area that used

to be a zoo.

The zoo opened in Bohus in 1965 and

was there for around 6 years.

The animals there included bears,

wolves, chimpanzees, baboons, yaks,

donkeys and goats.

It had up to 25,000 visitors a year and

was Sweden’s biggest zoo.

» THREE QUICK QUESTIONS WITH OUR

TEST RUNNERS

What sets Stage 1 apart?

The terrain is wonderfully varied and

the course setters have used it well to

make interesting long legs.

What should we look out for?

You have to pick good routes and save

some energy to orienteer well for the

whole course.

What should we enjoy?

The lush, green vegetation in parts of

the area – tough to run on but beautiful!


STAGE 2

LONG DISTANCE

On the steep and detailed Piggestensbergen

hills, runners on longer,

difficult courses will face challenging

route choices and technical

orienteering.

This stage offers varied and technical

terrain, with smaller features than the first

stage. The marshes are fewer here and there

are some heathery areas following an extensive

forest fire.

Apart from the youngest junior classes,

competitors will experience wilderness

terrain with only a few paths to cross.

There are very few dense or felled areas.

Runnability is varied, with everything from

fast open rock areas to forest with long

grass and marshes underfoot.

Our course setter say that O-Ringen

Gothenburg 2026 will open with two technically

and physically demanding stages.

Expect lots of big mistakes in Piggestenbergen

and use the day after to recover for the

rest of the week!

» THREE QUICK QUESTIONS WITH OUR

TEST RUNNERS


This will be a great long distance, with

both detailed and vague areas.


You’ll need to orienteer precisely on the

detailed slopes.


It’s great that it feels so wild, so close

to the city – look up and enjoy it!


» Arena SLOTTSSKOGEN

FOOT-O STAGE 3 SHORT MIDDLE DISTANCE

Thursday 23rd July 2026

STAGE 3

SHORT

MIDDLE DISTANCE

Our third stage will be held in Slottsskogen, in central

Gothenburg.

It’s very steep for a city park, with great views across Gothenburg

from the hilltops for anyone taking the time to enjoy them.

Broadleaf forest dominates and some courses will pass through

beautiful beech forest. There are some pines on higher areas. Since

Slottsskogen is a park, with millions of visitors every year, there are

many paths, and many of these are surfaced. Runnability is mostly

good.

The course setters tell us the terrain will have a lot of variety

within a small geographic area. The terrain is mostly quicker going

than on other stages. Not a tussocky marsh in sight! The orienteering

will be high-speed and you’ll have to control your speed, think

ahead and orienteer sharply. Our youngest competitors and others

on easier courses will encounter more traditional parkland.

It would be wrong to think of Stage 3 in Slottsskogen as a “walk

in the park” when competitors will get a complete orienteering experience

in this forest oasis, right in the hustle and bustle of the city!

It has it all, from open rock, stony slopes, deciduous and pine forest

and a zoo with all its tourists.

» THREE QUICK QUESTIONS WITH OUR TEST RUNNERS


A forest in the middle of the city!


Maintain your concentration and focus for the whole

course – it’s easy to miss things on this detailed map.

What should we look forward to?

There are incredible views across the city from some

controls – hopefully, you’ll have time to stop for a second!

MIDDLE DISTANCE

DO YOU DARE TO GO

RETRO FOR STAGE 4?

Digging out our retro orienteering clothes, we

give a nod to the history of orienteering and

the evolution of the sport. It doesn’t have to be

perfect – an old club top, classic gaitors and a

pair of nostalgic tights go a long way. The most

important thing is to dare not to take yourself

too seriously and wear your nostalgia with a

smile on the start line. We will of course be

awarding prizes for the best retro clothes – so

here’s your chance to not only run a good time

but to get points for style, too! So search your

wardrobe, dust off your old favourites and join us

to make an extra impression for Stage 4 on 24th

July – a stage we won’t forget in a hurry!

Welcome to Hisingen, Sweden’s fifth largest island!

Svarte Mosse is 4 km long and just 500 m wide at its

narrowest. The map is divided in two by a wall that for

hundreds of years marked the border between Sweden

and Norway. The entire area is a recreation area, with no

active forest management.

Competitors will encounter a mixture of tough but beautiful

Gothenburg terrain, and for some there will be views across the

archipelago. For those on easier courses, there are also many paths

and walls to follow.

The northern part of the area comprises rolling forest, with marshes

and tussocks between the open rock on the hilltops. Visibility is

good and there is a moderate level of detail. The middle section is

very detailed and is moderately to very hilly. The area was previously

burned bare by a forest fire but has now re-grown with birch, with

some pines and open rock.

The southern part is mostly a mixture of open rock, low forest

and long, narrow marshes. The contour shapes and climbs are more

challenging the further south and west you go.


STAGE 5

LONG DISTANCE

» THREE QUICK QUESTIONS WITH OUR TEST RUNNERS

What sets stages 4 and 5 apart?

Coastal terrain, and it’s fun to start stages 4 and 5 in

different directions.


Slow down when you need to and use the contours

for fine navigation. It’s easy to end up in the wrong

re-entrant, especially in the stress of the chasing start

on Stage 5.


The lush vegetation and the semi-open areas with flat

open rock warmed by the sun!

Those starting north of the arena on one stage will start to the

south on the next. The course setters advise that running straight,

with smart micro-route choices, is probably quickest for those who

are technically more confident as well as being strong runners. You

can often find lines with good visibility and runnability, especially

in a north-south direction. Everyone else should remember that as

soon as you leave the paths, you’re in a mixture of open rock, crags

and variable forest.

MTBO

MTBO offers a kind of cycling that has everything from

parkland near the city to wilderness and nature reserves.

Over the week, you will have cycled on everything from

fast gravel exercise tracks to technical small paths.

Experience Gothenburg’s best MTBO areas, where the

course setters have done their best to create great

cycling experiences for everyone, from beginner to elite!

MTBO is available as 5-days and stage starts. Our competition

classes have allocated start times for the first four stages and a

chasing start on the final stage. If you choose to compete in an

open class, you get free start times and can choose a suitable course

length and difficulty level to ride for the whole week for an overall

result. If you choose a stage start, you have a free start time and

you can either register in advance or at the arena for each stage.

There are no overall results for stage starts even if you compete on

more than one stage. MTBO stages 1 and 2 are part of the World

Masters Series (WMS).

Stages 1 and 2 – long and middle distance

The MTBO at this year’s O-Ringen starts with a long distance at

Stage 1 and a middle distance at Stage 2. The arena is at IFK Göteborg

Orientering’s clubhouse, a short cycle from central Gothenburg.

Delsjön is a real outdoor paradise and is well-used by Gothenburg

residents. There are many cycling trails of all kinds, with

everything from fast gravel roads to technical MTB tracks. This

means there are multiple route choice options for many legs. The

area varies from moderately to very hilly. For the long distance on

stage 1, longer courses visit terrain with a wilderness feel, with lots

of height difference and very long legs, with lots of route choice.

This is top quality terrain, where the MTBO European Championships

will be held in 2027.

Stage 3 – middle distance

Stage 3 is a middle distance in Hisingsparken, which is near

O-Ringen City. This is another recreational area and is rich in a variety

of tracks, roads and cycleways but also features some built-up

and residential areas. There will be a lot of route choice where it’s

important to take note of how rideable each track is. Moderately to

very hilly.

who wants to can try MTBO at Hisingsparken

arena. Perfect on a day

when other disciplines have a rest

day. Maybe you’ll even try a stage

start – courses from easy to hard

available.

Stage 4 – long sprint

Stage 4 is a long sprint. We’re using the same area as for

the Swedish Championships sprint in 2023, finishing at

Herkulesgården, just south of Gunnebo House, in the middle

of the competition area. The stage mostly features shorter route

choices on forest paths and exercise tracks, with some climb

towards the end.

Stage 5 – short long distance

O-Ringen 2026 finishes with a short long distance at Landvetter

Skidstadion, where there is an extensive and highly varied track

network. There’s everything from wide, superfast ski tracks and

gravel roads to small, technical paths. Further to the east is a more

normal track network.

There will be some legs with not only two, but sometimes many

more route choices, making for an extra challenge of navigating all

the path junctions. Some parts of the area are also quite hilly.

The plan at the moment is for most classes to have a map

exchange at the ski stadium. This will be an exciting, spectator-friendly

stage and a dramatic end to the week.

Trail-O

The Trail-O will take place near the city, in four locations with big

views close to the Göta Älv river. We can promise that your orienteering

technique will be repeatedly challenged. Competitions will

be short and intense, on detailed sprint maps on a variety of terrain

types, with three of Sweden’s best Trail-O competitors setting the courses.

Free minute start

for stages 1-4

The arenas are at Backa, Kungälv, Nya

Varvet and Ramberget, all within a short

distance of O-Ringen City and with good

parking facilities.

The Trail-O is held as 5-days and single

stage start competitions. For the Pre-Elite

class 5-days and Pre-Elite stage starts, stages

1-4 are World Ranking Events. Everyone

competing in these classes will be awarded

ranking points from each stage. 5-days and

stage start classes will use the same course,

but only those registered in the 5-days class

will compete for the overall win.

Terrain descriptions

Stage 1 – Backa arena

Short, intensive courses with controls close

together. The terrain is very detailed, with

many vegetation areas, with both denser deciduous

forest and some more open mixed

forest towards the end.

Stages 3 & 4 – Nya Varvet arena

Stages 3 and 4 will be held on the edge of the

Göta Älv, at the gateway into Gothenburg.

The terrain offers detailed craggy areas, with

both flat open rock and sheer rock faces. The

little vegetation there is is mainly broadleaf

forest.

Stage 2 – Kungälv arena

We will share our arena with grazing

animals, so the terrain is open heathland

with bushy areas. It has been specially

surveyed for Trail-O, ensuring a top quality

map. If you have time, you will be able to

enjoy views across both the Göta Älv and

Nordre Älv rivers, which meet just below the

competition area.

Stage 5 – Ramberget arena

The final stage of this year’s O-Ringen

will start at the top of the hill, with detailed

craggy terrain, and competitors will then

descend through sparse coniferous forest on

the courses. Don’t forget to enjoy the views,

too – from Ramberget’s peak at 87 metres

over sea level, you’ll have views right over

Gothenburg.

Try out Trail-O on

Wednesday 22nd July

On the activity day on 22nd July,

anyone curious about Trail-O can try

it out. You’ll be able to test competition

courses from Trail-O Stage 2 at

Kungälv. The arena is around 15 km

from O-Ringen City, so it’s possible to

cycle there, otherwise it’s best to take

the car and there is parking a

maximum of 500 m from the arena.

Your guide to Gothenburg this summer

When O-Ringen 2026 takes place in Gothenburg, you can

expect more than world class orienteering. We’ve created

three lists, each with ten tips: the city’s best attractions,

a selection of bathing spots and ten hidden gems around

Slottsskogen..

10 must-see attractions in Gothenburg

There’s a lot to do in Gothenburg and sometimes it can be hard to

choose. We’ve picked out ten unmissable attractions to help you.

1. Visit Liseberg theme park

Liseberg is well established as one of Europe’s top theme parks and

is unmissable if you’re in Gothenburg when the park is open. You’ll

find world class attractions, a great range of concerts, beautiful

gardens and ambitious restaurants.

2. Stroll through the old town at Haga

Haga is one of the oldest parts of Gothenburg, with cobbled streets

and traditional Gothenburg landshövdingehus buildings. There are

plenty of cosy cafes, small shops and a charming atmosphere. Did

you know that you can eat what are possibly the world’s biggest

cinnamon buns on Haga Nygata?

3. Visit the grand Gothenburg Museum of Art

Gothenburg Museum of Art is on Götaplatsen, at the top of Avenyn.

The museum has three stars in Michelin’s Green Guide and houses

impressive Nordic collections from the 15th century onwards.

4. Take a trip round the Gothenburg archipelago

Gothenburg’s archipelago is a chain of islands to the north and south

of the mouth of the Göta Älv river. You can reach the car-free islands

of the southern archipelago, for example Brännö, Styrsö and Vrångö,

from Saltholmen. The northern islands of Hönö, Öckerö and Björkö

are accessible from Lilla Varholmen.

5. Fresh fish and seafood, straight from the ocean

Seafood tastes especially good in the port city of Gothenburg.

Shellfish, both traditional and modern takes on fish, seaweed,

mussels and oysters – we have a huge variety. The iconic food hall

Feskekörka is a must for all seafood lovers.

Photo: Peter Kvarnström.

6. Try our local craft beers

Gothenburg is Sweden’s capital of beer, with over 40 craft

breweries in the city and surrounding region. Many of the

breweries run restaurants, pubs and tap rooms, where you can try

our freshly brewed local beers.

7. Explore the sea, the rainforest

and space at Universeum

Universeum, Sweden’s national

science centre, houses a rainforest,

and aquarium with exotic

fish and sharks, and many

exotic animals and plants –

all under one roof. There are

exhibitions for curious minds

of all ages, as well as Sweden’s

biggest visualisation dome,

Wisdome.

Photo: Peter Kvarnström.

8. Shop for Gothenburg design

Local labels, second hand and décor are just the tip of the iceberg

on a shopping trip in Gothenburg. Have a look at our shopping

guide for the areas around Magasinsgatan and Majorna, where

there are many vintage and second hand shops.

9. See Gothenburg from above at Skansen Kronan

Admire the beautiful views from Skansen Kronan, originally a

17th century fortress which over the years has served as both a

prison, emergency accommodation and a museum. You can climb

the battlements by heading up the steps from Haga. Up here you

can find a waffle cafe and an open air summer cafe with panoramic

views over Göteborg!

10. Visit world-class gardens

Just a stone’s throw from Gothenburg Central station is Trädgårdsföreningen

– one of Europe’s best preserved 19th centrury parks.

On the other side of town there’s the Botaniska Trädgården, a

world class botanical garden with over 20,000 species to admire, as

well as the popular city park Slottsskogen.

Bathing places in Gothenburg

Do you prefer sun-drenched rocky outcrops, a family-friendly

sandy beach or a spectacular pool? Gothenburg has bathing

spots for everyone.

1. Sillvik

On the west side of Hisingen, around 25 minutes by car from

O-Ringen City at Stora Holm, you’ll find Sillvik. There’s a beach,

rocks, jetties and ladders and it’s close to Sillvik nature reserve.

6. Askimsbadet

Askimsbadet features a long, sandy beach with a large grass area

for games and sunbathing. You can also bathe from the 259 m long

bathing pier. Ramps down to the beach and along the pier make it

wheelchair accessible.

7. Saltholmen

This is where ferries depart for Brännö, Styrsö and Vrångö, on Gothenburg’s

southern archipelago. In summer this area is a popular

bathing spot, with rocky outcrops and saltwater. Take tram 11 from

the city centre – the journey takes around 35 minutes.

8. Delsjön

In the middle of Delsjön’s extensive natural landscape you’ll find

the connected lakes Stora and Lilla Delsjön. You can take a relaxing

walk in the nature reserve, explore by canoe and bathe.

9. Styrsö Brattenbadet

Brattenbadet is in a little cove on the north side of Styrsö, near

Styrsö Bratten ferry quay. It has a lovely, small sandy beach suitable

for children and families.

Sillviks bathing place

2. Hamnbadet at Jubileumsparken

Hamnbadet at Jubileumsparken on Hisingen, around 20 minutes

by car from the competition area, has three open-air pools in Göta

Älv, two with saltwater and one with freshwater. It has changing

rooms, showers, toilets and a popular sauna.

3. Fiskebäcksbadet

Fiskebäcksbadet has both rocky outcrops and sand, as well as a

jetty and ladders to bathe from. There’s a playground for children

and if you’ve forgotten your packed lunch, there’s a cafe and kiosk.

The nearest stop is Fiskebäck harbour, around 300 m away.

4. Smithska udden

Smithska Udden is right on the end of Näset point, south west of

Gothenburg. It’s around 40 minutes’ journey on public transport

from the city centre to the stop at Näsbovägen and from there

around 20 minutes’ walk out onto the point.

5. Hovåsbadet

Hovåsbadet is a family-friendly and sheltered sandy beach with

rocks and bathing ladders. There’s plenty of room to play and eat

picnics, as well as a kiosk and cafe a stone’s throw from the water.

There are also jetties, a playground, a concrete pontoon and a

bridge to a little island.

Färjeläget Styrsö Bratten, close to Styrsö Brattenbadet.

10. Brännö Ramsdal

On the south of Brännö island on the archipelago, near Husvik

ferry quay, you’ll find Ramsdal, where rocky outcrops meet a little

sandy beach and the jetty has both a diving platform and ladders.

10 unmissable attractions around Slottsskogen

Around Slottsskogen in Linnéstaden, culture, food and daily life meet in a lively neighbourhood.

There are restaurants, bars, small shops and family-friendly attractions – all

within a short distance of the competition area. There’s a lot to do in Gothenburg and it

can be hard to choose, so we’ve picked out ten things that you simply cannot miss.

1. Gothenburg Natural History Museum*

See the world’s only exhibit of a blue whale, the mighty African

elephant and a whole host of other animals, both large and small,

from all over the world.

8. Poppy

The wine bar and restaurant Poppy combines carefully selected

ingredients, seasonal flavours and beautifully cooked food in a

warm, intimate setting.

2. Lekplatsen Plikta*

The playground Lekplatsen Plikta is in Slottsskogen and is a very

popular destination for families and children. It’s Gothenburg’s first

destination playground, with something for children of all ages.

3. New California Taco Shop

Serves artisan tacos on home-baked cornbread, with clear

inspiration from Los Angeles street food.

4. Bar Italia

On Prinsgatan 7 you’ll find a little piece of Italy in the heart of

Gothenburg. The cosy Bar Italia is a natural meeting place for both

coffee lovers and Linnéstaden locals.

9. Björkåfrihet Linnégatan

Björkåfrihet’s popular shop in Linné is down a flight of steps and

houses generous selection of clothing that is updated daily and

includes retro-inspired fashion for men, women and children.

10. Folkteatern & Folk bar

Folkteatern is one of Gothenburg’s leading theatres, with a focus

on dramatic and creative works. The same premises houses the

popular bar Folk.

5. Borgskogs

The famous baker and confectioner Fredrik Borgskog, successful

in both the Swedish national chef team and confectioner team,

runs this cafe and bakery whose menu focuses on bread creations

and desserts.

*Lekplatsen Plikta is outside the embargoed area and is fine to visit. The

Natural History Museum is within the embargo – you’re welcome to visit

the museum but please use the shortest route there from Linnéplatsen and

remember that reconnaissance of the area ahead of the competition is not

allowed.

6. Gyllene Prag

Gyllene Prag opened in 1973 and has been serving traditional

Czech dishes and foaming pilsner in a friendly setting ever since. A

Gothenburg icon!

7. Göteborg Manufaktur

Göteborg Manufaktur is a Mecca for anyone who loves Japanese

denim and American heritage, where quality materials and skilled

craftsmanship take centre stage.

Nine fantastic walks

Gothenburg lies at the meeting point of a variety of

natural landscapes: to the south, beech forest and

long, sandy beaches dominate and to the east is a hilly

landscape of forests and lakes. To the north are the hills

of Bohuslän and in the west there’s the archipelago, with

rocky outcrops and saltwater bathing. Doesn’t it make

you want to get out and explore?

Three short walks after competition days

1. Along waters of Säveån river

Walk along Säveån’s clear, fast-flowing

waters. Stop and bathe at the magical, beautiful

beach at the bend in the river

or wander further to the beach at

Sävelången lake, north

of Floda.

How to get there:

Conveniently, the walk

starts and finishes at two

commuter train stations.

From Stenkullen station,

head along the east side

of the tracks, following

the direction of the train.

A small path goes from here

down to the river and bathing

area. Head over the bridge, turn

left and follow the path to Floda

and Floda station.

Length: 5 km

Nearest stop: Stenkullen station

2. Lärjeån – Gothenburg’s own jungle

Welcome to Gothenburg’s answer to the

Amazon! It’s just a tram ride away, where the

brown waters of Lärjeån river wind between

muddy banks and lush, green vegetation.

This is one of Gothenburg’s richest areas for

plant and animal life. An easy path follows

the river.

How to get there: From the tram stop, go

to the end of Bollplansgatan. There you’ll

find a car park, information board and the

start of the path. The path is signed “Lärjeleden”

and has orange waymarkers. Turn

left after the bridge and follow the path to

Angered to take the tram back.

Length: 6 km

Nearest stop: Hjällbo

3. Walking and bathing at Stora

Amundön

What a gem! Stora Amundön isn’t all that

big but it manages to pack a lot in. Grazing

land with horses, sandy beaches, rocky outcrops,

areas of forest and cliffs to the west.

There’s a great walking route taking you

round the island.

How to get there: From the car park, head

over the bridge to the island. Turn right to

go straight to the beach or left through the

fields to start with the clifftops.

Length: 3 km

Nearest stop: Lillövägen

Three walks to try on the activity day

4. Heather heathland on Vallda Sandö

A seaside nature reserve south of Gothenburg.

With open heather, long beaches grazing

cattle and rocks. There are no marked

walking routes but the paths are nice.

How to get there: From the car park, the

biggest track leads to a lovely beach. From

there, you can walk along to the cliffs and

back.

Length: 4 km

Nearest stop: Sandö

5. Boat trip to Rörö and Hyppeln

Take the ferry out to Gothenburg’s northern

archipelago. Have a wander, eat ice cream,

bathe and enjoy the sea air. This trip starts

on Rörö, following a path round the island.

Then you can take the ferry to Hyppeln,

where a narrow gravel track goes round the

island, finishing at a beautiful sandy beach.

How to get there: Take the ferry from the

quay at Rörö. Head clockwise and follow

the orange waymarkers, then the blue ones,

then orange again. Then take the ferry to

Hyppeln. Go clockwise and follow the Kuststigen

waymarkers.

Length: 6+3 km

Nearest stop: Burö färgeläge

6. A walk with a cafe stop at the castle

At Gunnebo House there is an easy walking

trail accessible for pushchairs. It passes

pastures, old oak forest and a couple of

lakes. Finish at the 18th century palace of

Gunnebo House, where there is a cafe, shop

and gardens.

How to get there: Start where John Halls

väg crosses the water at Stensjö. Follow the

green and white waymarkers along the edge

of the lake. The trail goes round the house

but not past it, so turn off to get there.

Length: 7 km

Nearest stop: Gunnebo park


Det vilda Göteborg

Det vilda Göteborg (“Wild Gothenburg”)

is a website full of

tips for getting close to nature

in and around Gothenburg. Each

suggestion has accompanying

information, route descriptions,

pictures and a map. The map

works on your phone so you can see

your location. The service costs SEK

249 per year but O-Ringen Magazine

readers get 40 % off! Use the code

Oringenupptack2026 when you register,

so a year’s membership costs just

SEK 149.

7. A whole day out by the seaside

On beautiful Härmanö off Orust, you’ll

find the start of a walking trail heading out

along Gullholmen’s narrow, winding roads.

It continues through coastal meadows and

then out to the island’s wild west side, under

big skies.

How to get there: From Gullholmen

harbour, go up to the church and turn left.

Follow the road down the east side of the

island to the sign for Härmanö huvud/

Skålldalen. Turn right there and follow the

red waymarkers. Near the end of the circuit,

turn left onto a gravel road to take you back

to the harbour.

Length: 9 km

Nearest stop: Gullholmen hamnen

9. A wilderness walk in Risveden

Risveden isn’t far north east of Gothenburg

but is a whole other world. This large area

of forest and lakes is protected by nature

reserves and here you can walk in ancient

forest. The Risvedenspåret trail, on paths

and gravel roads, is a great way to discover

the area.

How to get there: Start at Sjövik sports

ground. Turn left onto road 190, to the

“Vandringsled” sign. Now follow the

gravel track. There are black and

white waymarkers along the

whole route.

Length: 18 km

Nearest stop: Östads kyrka

8. Majestic Lygnern

At Sätila you’ll find the massive lake of

Lygnern, which has beautiful sandy beaches.

On this walk, you’ll pass two of them. If

you want to extend the trip, you can drive

round to the other side of the lake and to

Ramhultafallet, one of southern Sweden’s

highest waterfalls, and Fjärås Bräcka – a

bank formed by glacial debris from the last

Ice Age that dams the lake.

How to get there: The trail is called

Torrås and starts at the southernmost beach

at Sätila. It then follows Strandvägen, and

then the edge of the lake, past the beach at

Flohult then up onto the hills overlooking

the lake. Follow the orange waymarkers.

Length: 11 km

Nearest stop: Sätila kyrka

Welcome to Stockholm

We’re really looking forward to organising next year’s

O-Ringen in Stockholm, 52 years after it was last held

in Sweden’s capital. For anyone who just can’t wait

until next summer, we’ve compiled some suggestions of

things you can do in the meantime.

Experience exciting culture

Let the city’s many museums and exhibitions guide you on a

journey through art, games and storytelling. Kulturnatt (“culture

night”) on 18th April fills the city with creativity and open doors.

At Tekniska Museet you can climb into our Skogen (“forest”) and

Play Beyond Play exhibitions. Liljevalchs Art Gallery offers strong

impressions with When We See Us until 30th August and the

classic Vårsalongen exhibition, which is open until 3rd May. At the

Museum of Ethnography, the Sagovärld exhibition attracts people

of all ages, all year round.

The summer’s hottest music experiences

Stockholm is a city full of musical experiences, from Swedish favourites

to international superstars. Summer 2026 will feature a huge

range of concerts and festivals to suit all tastes.

Don’t miss big international names such as Foo Fighters on 12th

June, Bad Bunny on 10–11th July, The Weeknd on 8–10th August

and Emmylou Harris on 26th August. Swedish icons will also take

to the stage, including Veronica Maggio on 22nd August.

Whether you enjoy a festival atmosphere or an arena tour, there’s

something for all music lovers in Stockholm. Rosendal Garden

Party on 12–14th June offers a unique combination of music, food

and summer mood in the beautiful setting of Rosendal gardens,

while Kulturfestivalen on 12–16th August will fill the city’s streets

with music, art and entertainment. Experience Sweden’s longest

festival at Gröna Lund, with artists such as Petter on 8th May,

Dolly Style on 23rd May, Thomas Stenström on 11–12th June and

Charlie Puth on 30th June.

Stockholm’s green jewel for children and adults alike

Djurgården is one of Stockholm’s most multidimensional destinations,

with activities for all ages and interests. This is where culture,

history and fun meet in a unique setting near the city. Visit Skansen

and experience Swedish cultural history, animals and traditions

all year round, or visit exciting exhibitions at the Vasa Museum

and ABBA The Museum. For adrenaline junkies, there’s Gröna

Lund with it’s high-speed attractions, music and summer mood.

Experience magical concert evenings and don’t miss the park’s new

attraction Spindeln for an extra thrill. Djurgården also has many

cosy cafes, charming restaurants, beautiful promenades, world class

museums and green spaces ideal for picnics and relaxation.

Trips to Stockholm’s

beautiful archipelago

Stockholm’s archipelago is a fantastic destination for both adventure

and relaxation, with over 30,000 islands to discover. The largest

islands like Vaxholm and Sandhamn have restaurants, cafes, small

shops and houses, whereas smaller islands such as Grinda and

Finnhamn offer peace, nature and charming guest marinas. Take the

ferry from the city and enjoy beautiful archipelago views on the way.

For anyone who would like to explore nature more actively, why

not try Stockholm Archipelago Trail, a spectacular trail that takes

Photo: Anne Sofie Eriksson

you through the archipelago’s wild and picturesque landscape. There

are many activities available: kayak trips round sheltered coves,

walking along clifftop and forest paths, bathing in the clear water.

During the summer this is the place for sailing, boat tours and

Midsummer celebrations, while the autumn and spring are ideal

for peaceful nature and birdwatching. The archipelago is perfect

for day trips, weekend excursions or longer holidays – there are

always more islands to explore.

Photo: Oskar Scheller


Stockholm in running shoes

Stockholm is a city where running permeates

both the urban and natural environments, and

where the events calendar runs from early spring

right into the autumn. Stockholm Marathon on

30th May takes competitors through historic quarters,

along waterfronts and past the city’s most

iconic landmarks. Midnattsloppet on 15th August

has a unique combination of running, music

and a party atmosphere in the late evening light.

Tjejmilen on 5th September gathers thousands

of women and is one of the world’s biggest races

of its kind. For the adventurous, ÖTILLÖ on 7th

September is an extreme swim-run experience

across the Stockholm archipelago, while Lidingöloppet,

Vårmilen and Blodomloppet create accessible

and enjoyable running experiences in nature

for both beginners and seasoned competitors.

Photo: Fond & Fond

Discover Stockholm’s vibrant culinary scene

Stockholm’s restaurant scene and gastronomic

experiences are in constant evolution. At

Nya Slussen, the city’s restaurant life pulses

with trendy eateries. You’ll find everything

from relaxed cafes and street food to innovative

restaurants and fine dining, perfect

for lunch, dinner or fika on a day in the city.

Slussen is a place where food and meetings

combine in a lively environment, close to the

water and the pulse of the inner city.

Are you also planning a day filled with culture

and history? Many of the city’s museums

have restaurants that are more than just cafes.

Photo: Anna Hållams

Museum visitors may well need a break to digest

everything they’ve seen and her you can

find lunch, dinner and fika in surrounds that

match the creativity of the exhibitions. Fotografiska’s

vegetarian and organic menu almost

has the same pull as the museum itself, while

Spritmuseum (Museum of Swedish drinking

culture), under head chef Micael Sandell,

serves high-class Swedish flavours and artisan

drinks. Whether you want to explore Slussen’s

trendy restaurants or the museums’ cultural

gems, Stockholm can offer something new

and exciting for every taste and occasion.

Don’t miss other events, such

as Sweden’s biggest pop

culture gathering, Comic Con,

on 30-31st May, Bauhausgalan

on 7th June and much more

besides. You’ll find it all

on the event calendar at

Meet some of our organising team

KAROLIN OHLSSON

ELISABETH OCH JÖRGEN HECTOR

GUSTAV BERGMAN

You’ll have a role in our marketing group

and will help out with social media. What

are your ideas for content and how will

you approach the role?

– I want to get across that O-Ringen feeling.

The sense of community, the fun and everything

the happens both in and outside of

the arena. There’ll be a mix of the competition

side of things, the atmosphere, “behind

the scenes” and meetings with competitors

and organisers. To succeed with that, you

have to be where the action is and create

vibrant and authentic content.

What’s the best thing about helping at

O-Ringen?

– The social side, and doing your bit to

contribute to a huge and successful event.

You get to meet loads of people and that

gives you a lot of energy.

What’s your best memory from organising

other events?

– Getting to be DJ at Sicklaloppets Gruvlopp

and helping create the mood and energy

for everyone taking part. A really great

experience.

You’re going to be jointly responsible for

O-Ringen Square in Stockholm. Why are

you getting involved with O-Ringen?

– To play a part in the development of our

wonderful sport. O-Ringen is fun and exciting

to be a part of as a competitor, so now

it’s on our home soil we want to contribute.

Have you done O-Ringen before?

– We’ve competed many times. The first was

in Mjölby. We’re both really involved with

our club and other things but this is our first

time being involved in organising O-Ringen.

As organisers, what are you looking

forward to?

– Meeting all our visitors. That will be a

wonderful day. We’re in charge of O-Ringen

Square, which will be at Stockholm University

and close to the campsite. Our ambition

is to create a great communal atmosphere.

What are your expectations, and what will

be your biggest challenge?

– We’re expecting challenges, to learn new

things and lots of community spirit. The

biggest challenge is having to wait so long

before we can open.

You’re going to be helping in the forest.

What will you be doing and what will your

job look like?

– I have an overall responsibility for the elite

courses during the week. The course setters

are working closely with the controllers for

each day but some of us work more broadly,

to ensure that all classes consistently have

the right difficulty level across the week.

A lot of it is desk work but so far I’ve also

managed a bit of test running.

What will be challenging about the role,

and what will be fun?

– The most difficult thing is definitely all the

limiting factors (arena logistics, routes to the

starts, conservation areas, landowners) that

we have to adhere to, even if it’s the course

setters who really have their work cut out

here. The most fun thing is getting to see the

courses already!

What do you enjoy most about helping at

O-Ringen?

– The best thing about being an official is of

course being involved with creating a great

O-Ringen experience for our competitors!

I also find it very rewarding to do this work

for my club.

What other good memories do you have

from organising events?

– I’ve worked on a lot of events, both as an

organiser and a course setter. One good

memory was my first major role, setting the

courses for the 25manna middle distance in

2014. It was great to get feedback about the

elite courses.


Sundsvall – where nature meets city life

Poto: Evelina Ytterbom

In Sundsvall, nature is never far away. This is where

forest, sea and city meet in a unique combination, which

makes Sundsvall and the surrounding area a particularly

exciting option for anyone looking for a top quality training

destination without sacrificing all-round experience.

Photo: Evelina Ytterbom

The forest stretches far and

wide from Sundsvall –

perfect for both orienteering

and running. The terrain

features high hills and deep valleys,

with some paths that are great for

speed and others that demand

focus. Whether you’re training

for a competition or just out

enjoying the beautiful nature,

there’s plenty to enjoy.

Start your day in Södra

Berget outdoor recreation area,

one of Sundsvall’s best-loved

natural areas. Here you’ll find

steep terrain, paths and climbs

to get your pulse racing, but also

lots of forest where you’ll find space

to relax again. The hill is also home to

Södra Berget Bike Arena if you want to

combine running with some great cycling.

From Södra Berget it isn’t far to Sidsjön, where

yo can enjoy a lovely swim.

The thing that sets Sundsvall apart is proximity. In just a few minutes

you can go from the midst of the forest to the bustle of the city,

with its restaurants, cafes, shopping and experiences. Finish your

day with dinner at a restaurant in town and then a comfy night

at a hotel after your hours in the wild – for an extra bit of luxury,

choose a spa hotel for relaxation.

Stenstan in Sundsvall is the world’s most northerly urban district

with stone buildings and is well worth a visit in itself. The beautiful

buildings with their pinnacles and towers stretch up towards the

heavens and invite you to discover new details every time you

look up. It’s no secret that Sundsvall has been voted Sweden’s most

beautiful city. Here, it’s easy to have it all: the joy of being active,

time in nature and city life. Sundsvall is a place where nature lovers

looking for outdoor life can focus on training – without having to

sacrifice comfort, company or other experiences afterwards. See

you in Destination Sundsvall, www.destinationsundsvall.se

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 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.

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 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.



5-DAYS

O-Ringen’s biggest and most classic competition is to

compete over five days. The winner for many of the classes

is determined by an exciting chasing start on the final

day of competition. This competition is available in all

disciplines: Foot-O, MTBO and Trail-O. All Foot-O course

lengths for Main classes, Short classes and Recreational

classes will be adapted to the terrain. The Gothenburg

terrain means that for some stages, many courses will

be somewhat shorter than shown on the table.

MAIN CLASSES

Our five-day main classes are most popular. You have an allocated,

timed start, apart from classes DH75 and older, who have a free minute

start for stages 1-4. The competition is decided on the final day with a

chasing start for everyone except DH10–DH12 and Para-I classes.

RECREATIONAL (MOTION) CLASSES

Compete on easier courses in classes according to age and sex.

Start when you want every day, with no chasing start on the final

day. Many of these classes have a small number of competitors, so

we are trialling 10-year interval age classes in 2026.

SHORT (KORT) CLASSES

Shorter than competition classes but with

the same technical challenge. DH12-16

Kort have allocated start times on all

stages. All other classes have a free minute

start on stages 1–4, which means you

choose a start minute when you get to the

start. There is a chasing start for all classes

except DH12-16 Kort on the final day.

PARA-I

Para-I is for anyone with an intellectual disability. It is open to

anyone with an IQ of under 75, the equivalent to attending a

special school or having LSS support in Sweden. You do not

need a Parasports licence to compete. There is a form to fill in

for anyone wishing to compete in our main competition classes,

D Para-I and H Para-I. This form is available at oringen.se and

should be completed when you register. The Para-I course is

very easy and is around 2 km. Available as 5-days and as single

stage starts. All five stages are foot orienteering, which means

that accessibility is not adapted to anyone using a wheelchair or

other mobility aid. If you do use any mobility aids, we recommend

our Trail-O classes.

The Para-I class is open for all ages. There is a free start for all

stages and timing using SportIdent. Competitors can be joined

by a coach/adult/friend on the course.



OPEN CLASSES

There are 15 open orienteering classes in

Foot-O, with different lengths and technical

difficulty levels that you can choose to

compete on over a week. There are free start

times for all Open classes.

For our Inskolning competitors, there is a

prize for everyone! The results list does not

show any times or positions, only that you

have competed.

Please note that the class name refers to the approximate distance on a Long stage.

Middle distance courses are shorter than the class name.

MTBO CLASSES

There are five MTBO stages at O-Ringen Gothenburg 2026.

Start times are pre-allocated and the competition finishes with

a chasing start on the final day for everyone except classes

DH10-12, who have a pre-allocated start time on all days.

MTBO is high-speed and is all about making quick route

choice decisions. The maps are like those used in Foot-O. The

biggest difference is how paths and tracks are marked. They

show how easy they are to ride on. Put simply, the longer the

dashes on the lines, the easier they are to ride.

Classes may be combined if there are not many riders in a class. Decisions regarding

combining classes will be made after the ordinary entry deadline on 7th June.

TRAIL-O CLASSES

The Trail-O competition focuses on map interpretation. Each

control has up to five control flag options. From a distance,

you must determine which flag is correctly placed according to

the control circle 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 accessible

terrain, i.e. on tracks and roads.

Svart 7,5 5,0 7,5 Difficult Svår

Please note that the course name corresponds to the approximate

length for a long distance. For middle distance stages, the courses will

be shorter than this.

STAGE START

With the Stage Start option, you can choose the course

you want to run at each stage of O-Ringen. If you register

on the day for each stage, you can choose whichever

course suits how you feel on that day. The Stage Start

option is available for each orienteering discipline that is

offered at O-Ringen: Foot-O, MTBO and Trail-O.

For our younger orienteers we offer Introduction (“Inskolning”)

and Try it Out classes. These classes can also be booked as 5-Days

main classes. All classes have free starts so you can start when it

suits you. If you are an adult and a beginner, start with the Try it

Out class. Then you can gradually choose more difficult and/or

longer courses.

For MTBO, both orienteering technical difficulty and cycling

technical difficulty are indicated. Class/Course indicates the

orienteering technical difficulty. Cycling difficulty indicates the

technical cycling difficulty.

FULL BODY COVER

When competing, you must wear full body cover to protect

you against cuts and scratches. This is also recommended

for training. Full body cover means clothes must

cover your legs and torso. Long trousers and a T-shirt are

fine. You can cover any holes in your clothes using tape,

but please do this before you go through verification.

There is no tape available at the start or with any helpers!

Exceptions are made for Introductory and Try-It classes,

where simpler clothing is permitted.

WELLNESS CERTIFICATES

Orienteering is wellness and now you can print out your

own wellness certificate at oringen.se!

If you are entitled to a wellness allowance from your

employer, you can use this when you register for O-Ringen.

If you’re not sure what applies at your workplace,

check with your employer.

When you register at oringen.se, you will receive a

confirmation email. If you need an additional certificate

to get your wellness allowance, you can create one on

our website. You will need your booking number and the

email address you gave when you registered.


» INFORMATION ABOUT TOUCH-FREE TIMING

FOOT-O

• All competitors will be able to use touch-free

timing at the Bagheera Relay, Chalmerssprinten

and the five Foot-O stages. You will need a SIAC

to do this.

• If you have an older card you can still use this

to run but you must remember to “dib” controls

manually using the hole on the unit. All SI

card versions (version 5-11) will work during

O-Ringen 2026.

• Your SIAC is cleared the same way as other SI

cards.

• Punch at the verification station to check the

right name, club and class come up on the

screen, just as with other SI cards.

• The touch-free function of your SIAC is activated

when you punch a check unit. At O-Ringen, there

are check units at the verification stations

(these are the ones you punch to see your details

on the screen) and at the start (the ones

you punch when you enter the start lane).

• If you have a punching start, punch manually

(using the hole on the unit).

• Touch-free timing works when you hold the card

between 0 and 30 cm above the SI unit for a

tenth of a second.

• When the punch is registered in the card, the

card flashes and bleeps. It is very important

to check the card is flashing and bleeping. The

safest way to do this is to look to see if your

card is flashing. Sometimes, many competitors

punch at the same time and it’s easy to hear

another card bleeping instead of your own, so

get into the habit of checking your own card

after punching.

• If the card does not give a signal, try to punch

using the hole on the unit. If that still doesn’t

work, try another unit on the control or use

the pin punch to manually punch the map (only

available for the five Foot-O stages).

• Punch at the finish line the same way as at

controls. The touch-free function turns off when

you punch at the finish. Make sure you see

and hear a signal from your own card when you

punch at the finish.

• With touch-free punching, no information is

stored in the control unit. This means that the

organisers cannot interrogate the control unit’s

back-up memory afterwards.

• The infamous SportIdent bug that means occasionally,

some punches are not registered on the

SI card despite a signal being observed has not

been observed in touch-free punches.

• If the battery in the SIAC card runs out, you can

still punch normally using the hole in the SI unit

at all controls. Touch-free punches remain in the

card’s memory even if the battery runs out.

• It is recommended to replace your SIAC battery

Annons

every three years, even if it has not run out.

Check when your battery was last changed at

www.sportident.com/support/siac-battery-service.

• Even if your battery is not yet three years old,

it should be changed if its level is too low. You

will be able to test your card’s battery level at

O-Ringen Square.

• SportIdent will be at O-Ringen Square to help

with any batteries that need changing. There

may however be queues, so remember to send

off your card in advance if possible.

MTBO

• As with other recent years, MTBO will use

SIAC touch-free punching at all controls.

• You won’t be able to use older SI cards for

MTBO, as the SI units do not have a hole for

annual punching.

• As a result of the above, it is important that

MTBO competitors check their SIAC battery level

before they start. You will be able to do this at

the MTBO arenas.

TRAIL-O

• As with previous recent years, the Trail-O

classes will use the ToePunch system.
