Registration guide<br />
Finally! Third time is the charm! May the dream about O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala 2022<br />
now become reality! That and a thousand other thoughts and feelings of hope<br />
and happiness surfaced when the government announced that the limits on the<br />
<strong>number</strong> of participants are being removed.<br />
The pandemic is still present in our<br />
everyday life and far from over<br />
and the hope about an O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
next summer is obviously<br />
dependent on many things beyond our<br />
control. But if everything goes well so that<br />
we can finally meet again it will, after two<br />
postponed events, be wonderful to do so<br />
next summer at the biggest orienteering<br />
adventure in the world: O-<strong>Ringen</strong>.<br />
The announcement about the removed<br />
restrictions gives a new burst of life and<br />
energy to the officials who resume their<br />
work with full power, not just in Uppsala but<br />
also at future O-<strong>Ringen</strong> destinations. After<br />
a two-year hiatus plans and preparations<br />
need to be dusted off and updated for us to<br />
be ready to receive all you enthusiastic orienteers<br />
from all corners of the world. After<br />
these two years the craving might be extra<br />
strong so we may be looking forward to an<br />
extra-large reunion at O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala<br />
2022.<br />
You are very welcome to share the joy<br />
with us!<br />

STRATEGY <br />
Community,<br />
SÖT<br />
wise choices, and<br />
communication<br />
That is our focus when we move forward to make<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> a sustainable experience both for you as<br />
participants but also for our partners and suppliers<br />
as well as for us as a business. Three years has now<br />
passed since we got a new owner directive with a<br />
partially adjusted focus. Sustainability in combination<br />
with an even more positive experience that creates<br />
added value for more people has now been pushed higher<br />
up on the agenda. This is not new for us, but it gets a<br />
clearer focus than before.<br />
compensated for their work and the Swedish orienteering movement<br />
can and should count on us to shape cost structures that let<br />
us actively create possibilities to develop as a continued financially,<br />
socially, and environmentally sustainable event.<br />
The change of direction and focus that we have made, is at once<br />
both inspiring and challenging. We look forward to finally arranging<br />
an O-<strong>Ringen</strong> with community, wise choices, and communication<br />
as starting points and focus. These three starting points<br />
consolidate the focal areas and enables both the organizer as well<br />
as individual officials to contribute, with actions and behaviour, to<br />
fulfilling the strategy for the next generation of O-<strong>Ringen</strong>.<br />
MINDRE SÖT<br />
This has led us to develop a new strategy that will lead us<br />
into 2025. This in the light of us needing to move forward<br />
with two postponed events behind us. The foundation for<br />
our direction is global goals where good health and well-being<br />
are obvious factors, and in our case, this includes our officials and<br />
employees, our participants, partners, and host municipalities.<br />
Consumption shall be sustainable, and production shall be decreased.<br />
That requires consistently aware and wise choices, which<br />
obviously also applies to transports. These issues are always on the<br />
table when we look forward and make plans for future events and<br />
the development of O-<strong>Ringen</strong>. Our arena and our competition area<br />
are of decisive importance to us and others, including eco systems<br />
and biodiversity. That means that the choices we make must be<br />
well thought-out, deliberate, and wise, to achieve the lofty goals we<br />
aspire to when we arrange and then close an event. To succeed we<br />
must cooperate even more closely.<br />
Economic sustainability has come into focus after two years with<br />
postponed events. According to the new directives we shall have<br />
sustainable finances, so we need to better identify the conditions<br />
that create that possibility. We want our officials to be properly<br />

Restrictions are easing<br />
- now we long for O-<strong>Ringen</strong>!<br />
On the 29th September the Swedish<br />
Government will ease the majority of<br />
the remaining Covid restrictions that<br />
have been in place since early 2020.<br />
This means that there will no longer<br />
be a limit placed on the <strong>number</strong> of<br />
participants or spectators at sporting<br />
events.<br />
“We are obviously really pleased with this<br />
decision and can now begin the planning<br />
for next summer’s big orienteering festival,<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong>”, says Jens Lindquist, project manager<br />
and acting CEO for O-<strong>Ringen</strong>.<br />
"For two summers now we have had to go<br />
without the fantastic orienteering adventure<br />
that is O-<strong>Ringen</strong> and the sense of community<br />
that it creates. For two summers we<br />
have had to postpone not only O-<strong>Ringen</strong> in<br />
Uppsala but also missed other big competitions<br />
such as 10-mila and 25-manna<br />
that were not able to take lace in Sweden.<br />
As the restrictions are finally being lifted,<br />
the organisers of these events can finally<br />
get started with some serious planning and<br />
begin to take place again."<br />
"We can’t wait to welcome orienteers to<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> again. We have had a really tough<br />
time with two cancelled events, but now we<br />
can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel<br />
and gather some serious momentum in<br />
the planning again” explains Jens Lindquist,<br />
project manager for O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala.<br />
Jens and the organising clubs in Uppsala<br />
are working towards welcoming orienteers<br />
from all over the world next summer. It is<br />
already possible to enter via the O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
homepage to secure your place at O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
- the world’s largest orienteering adventure -<br />
next summer.<br />
We are<br />
obviously<br />
really<br />
pleased<br />
with this<br />
decision<br />

Kan spindeltråd rädda världen?<br />
Visste du att spindeltråd skulle kunna<br />
stoppa en jumbojet i luften? Och att<br />
Spindelmannens tråd skulle hålla även<br />
utan stunttricks?<br />
Anna Rising, professor i veterinärmedicinsk<br />
biokemi vid SLU, Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet,<br />
och forskare vid Karolinska institutet, forskar på<br />
konstgjord spindeltråd och dess många användningsområden.<br />
Vi tog ett snack med henne för att<br />
höra hur hon hamnade i detta spindelnät.<br />
Hej Anna! Hur kommer det sig att du började<br />
forska kring spindlar och spindeltråd?<br />
Det var lite av en slump. Jag var färdigutbildad<br />
veterinär, men ville forska och letade efter projekt.<br />
Då hittade jag en doktorandplats på SLU<br />
som var ett EU-projekt som syftade till att ta<br />
fram konstgjord spindeltråd. Mitt projekt var att<br />
använda spindeltråden till ortopediska implantat;<br />
t.ex. senor och ligament. Jag insåg snabbt att det<br />
saknades kunskap kring konstgjord spindeltråd<br />
och att man faktiskt aldrig förut hade lyckats ta<br />
fram det. Mina efterforskningar kring spindeltråd<br />
tog mig ut i vildmarken i Sydafrika där jag fångade<br />
hundra spindlar av en art som spinner den<br />
starkaste tråden och vars tråd inte drar ihop sig<br />
av vatten, något som var viktigt för ett material<br />
avsett för ortopediska implantat. Vi använder fortfarande<br />
DNA från dessa spindlar i vår forskning.<br />
Forskningen visade sig även vara användbar<br />
inom andra områden än ortopediska implantat.<br />
Bland annat har vi genom att härma hur spindeln<br />
producerar sin tråd kunnat ta fram vissa typer av<br />
läkemedel på ett mer effektivt sätt, vilket bl.a. kan<br />
ha betydelse för nyfödda barn med andningssvårigheter.<br />
Vilken är din största forskningstriumf?<br />
Att vi lyckades! Ingen hade någonsin gjort<br />
det tidigare. Detta var första gången som det<br />
lyckades. Det var särskilt roligt att vi skapade<br />
spindeltråden utifrån grundvetenskapliga insikter,<br />
vi imiterade naturen. När man utforskar naturen<br />
kan man ofta hitta de mest otroliga lösningarna<br />
som vi faktiskt kan använda i samhället idag. Det<br />
vi forskade om har bidragit till något konkret och<br />
användbart som är till nytta för samhället på sikt.<br />

Orienteering<br />
Photo: Peter Holgersson<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala 2022 has a very concentrated concept<br />
without in any way renouncing the orienteering experience.<br />
This is possible because Uppsala has many urban nature<br />
reserves that has been preserved for outdoor life.<br />
The O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City is situated on Ultuna, 6<br />
km south of Uppsala city. It is easy to get to<br />
Uppsala by train, bus, airplane, boat or car.<br />
If you live on or near O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City, you<br />
have cycling distance to all of the stages (4-8<br />
km) and close to experiences and activities<br />
in Uppsala city and its surroundings. Bring<br />
your bike!<br />
Bicycle distance<br />
If you live on or near O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City camping,<br />
you have cycling distance to all of the stages<br />
(4-8 km) and close to experiences and activities<br />
in Uppsala city and its surroundings.<br />
Bicycle is an environmental and wise<br />
choice of means of transport in Uppsala. The<br />
short distances allow you to maximize your<br />
experiences during the days. So we really<br />
recommend that you bring your own bike or<br />
rent/borrow a such.<br />
As a complement, we will also offer transport<br />
by bus to all of our stages at the main<br />
arenas from the O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City.<br />
Satellite parking<br />
The satellite parking is located at the exit<br />
of the E4 Highway. From here, as a participant,<br />
you get a short and smooth bus ride<br />
to Arena Pattons hage for stages 1 and 2 in<br />
Nåsten, Arena Sävja for stage 3 in the north<br />
of Lunsen and Arena Flottsund for stages 4<br />
and 5 also in Lunsen.<br />
No parking is offered at the arenas.<br />
Trains from all directions<br />
stop in Uppsala, both<br />
long distance trains and<br />
comuter trains. The train<br />
stops at Uppsala resecentrum in the middle of<br />
the city from where you reach both the arenas<br />
and O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City with several city bus lines<br />
operating Uppsala. There are several buses that<br />
operate Uppsala with long-distance buses.<br />
Plane and boat<br />
Close to Uppsala there<br />
are two airports, Arlanda<br />
and Västerås airport.<br />
From Arlanda you can<br />
travel to Uppsala by commuter train or bus and<br />
from Västerås there are buses.<br />
There are also options to travel by ferry to<br />
Stockholm, Kapellskär or Grisslehamn. From<br />
here it is about an hour's journey to Uppsala,<br />
by car or bus.<br />
Car<br />
Uppsala is close to most people<br />
and is easy to get to. If you travel<br />
with your own car and caravan /<br />
motorhome, you will probably turn<br />
off from the E4 or from one of the major country<br />
roads 55 or 72 and get to the O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City by<br />
Ultuna a little south of the city center.<br />

km with car from Uppsala Central station.<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> square is located in the middle of<br />
the camping area and you can jump on the<br />
stage buses directly from here. Although the<br />
distance to all of the stages are 5–8 km so<br />

Toilets and showers are available. No access<br />

Private individuals can post their accommodation<br />
for rent during O-<strong>Ringen</strong>. Our<br />

come in so if you do not find something at the<br />
moment please check back in a few weeks.<br />

The competition area consists of two parts.<br />
A rolling, wooded area with a significant<br />
climb closest to the arena, and an area with<br />
big and small houses a bit further away from<br />
the arena. Despite the short distance the<br />
track includes both woods, park, and city<br />
terrain. Fredrik Wigertz is responsible for<br />
the route planning of the Bagheera relay, and<br />
he promises that the runners will encounter<br />
typical challenges in the sprint orienteering.<br />
They need to find he control points<br />
fast and be able to choose fast and energy<br />
efficient routes. Long stretches of shrubbery<br />
and large buildings forces the runners to<br />
reconsider their route choices. There will<br />
also be simple forkings so they will need to<br />
maintain their own orienteering.<br />

STAGE 1 & 2<br />
NÅSTEN<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala 2022<br />
starts where<br />
it ended in 1980<br />
Last time O-<strong>Ringen</strong> was held in<br />
Uppsala was in 1980. Back then the<br />
competition was concluded with<br />
the last stage in the nature reserve<br />
Nåsten. Now, a little over 40 years<br />
later, we are starting O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
Uppsala 2022 where we last ended it.<br />
The arena is beautifully situated in Pattons<br />
hage just 15 minutes bicycle ride from the<br />
camping site at O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City. The name<br />
”Pattons hage” arose after the famous<br />
general George S. Patton visited in Sweden<br />
in 1945 and watched a Swedish military<br />
exercise at the site.<br />
Nåsten offers varied<br />
wilderness terrain close to the city<br />
The Nåsten nature reserve has large areas of<br />
old pine forest, ideal for runners, growing<br />
on small hills and marshy areas. But it also<br />
offers several other types of terrain. Close<br />
to our arena in Hågadalen there are hiking<br />
areas with many trails, short and steep,<br />
slopes and further out you get a sense of<br />
wilderness.<br />
There are intricate areas with short lines<br />
of sight and areas with many, sometimes<br />
very large, boulders.<br />
Sample leg from Nåsten, orange difficulty. The red<br />
route choice is the shortest while the green one is<br />
safer but quite a bit longer. The blue route is safe<br />
at first, but it will be somewhat harder to take the<br />
control points. Which route will you choose?<br />
The longer routes will test the skills of all<br />
orienteers.<br />
This can be seen in a larger <strong>number</strong><br />
of trails, especially close to our arena in<br />
Hågadalen. Both nearby and farther out you<br />
can get a feeling of real wilderness.<br />

Unlike Lunsen, Nåsten is characterized by a larger variation<br />
in the terrain. A few larger bogs are interspersed<br />
with intricate wilderness terrain in the eastern parts<br />
that is a reserve and therefore has been spared from<br />
forest exploitation for several decades. In all this there<br />
are denser areas, meadows, and flat rocks, and in<br />
the western parts also some aspects of forestry and<br />
agriculture. Runability is generally good to very good,<br />
largely because of the flat terrain, but it can be affected<br />
by vegetation, where especially wild rosemary in<br />
the larger bogs can impede the running speed. During a<br />
beautiful summer, the bogs can be entirely dry, and the<br />
opposite if the summer is wet. Some larger and smaller<br />
trails cross the reserve and there are some forest<br />
roads outside of it. Roads allow high running speeds,<br />
but you will need very supple ankles if you want to run<br />
fast on the smaller trails.<br />

Sprint in a classic environment. In the<br />
heart of the student areas of Uppsala<br />
with the newly built ”classic” Studenternas<br />
as arena we offer a high-class<br />
elite sprint competition with exciting<br />
path selection possibilities. The<br />
runners are offered a variety of terrain,<br />
from densely built-up student residential<br />
and union areas to parks and<br />
environments of cultural and historical<br />
significance.<br />
One of the most famous landmarks of<br />
Uppsala, the pink castle Vasaborgen from<br />
the 16th century is located in the middle of<br />
the area. The wooded city park Stadsparken,<br />
bordering the waters of Fyrisån, is also a<br />
part of the competition area.<br />
– The character of the competition<br />
area varies heavily and will test the skills<br />
of the elite runners. They need to be able<br />
to change pace and be ready for various<br />
kinds of orienteering to succeed, says route<br />
planner Kate Morrison. The arena will offer<br />
high class arena feeling with results on big<br />
screens and grandstands that lets everybody<br />
see the runners reach the finish line on the<br />
pitch at Studenternas. Outside the arena, in<br />
the nearby park, there is both a playground<br />
as well as lovely areas for a picnic in the<br />
competition area.<br />

STAGE 3<br />
NORTHERN LUNSEN<br />
Äkta sport<br />
The similarities<br />
with stages 4 and 5<br />
are significant<br />
It consists of flat, detail rich pine<br />
woods on rocky ground with many<br />
larger and smaller marsh areas. The<br />
somewhat distinguishing feature<br />
of stage 3 is a more significant<br />
occurrence of spruce, especially in the<br />
lower lying areas closest to the arena.<br />
This does reduce the line of sight but<br />
without reducing runability. In these areas<br />
the underbrush is instead lower, consisting<br />
mainly of wild rosemary and bilberry sprigs.<br />
There is a large <strong>number</strong> of paths in the<br />
woods close to the built-up areas of Sävja,<br />
where the arena is located. But further<br />
south there is more and more wilderness.<br />
The area is completely unaffected by<br />
forestry. The longest legs will reach some<br />
areas with windthrows.<br />

OL STAGE 3 LONG DISTANCE<br />
Thursday July 28 2022<br />
The northern parts of Lunsen borders the<br />
residential area Sävja in southern Uppsala and<br />
is a popular area for outdoor activities that<br />
consists of a larger <strong>number</strong> of trails that might<br />
help on the easier routes but complicate things<br />
on the harder ones. The trick is to make the<br />
right choices and to know where you are. The<br />
longer and harder routes will reach a beautiful<br />
area in the eastern parts of Lunsen that are<br />
a bit more hilly than southern Lunsen where<br />
stages 4 and 5 will be decided.<br />
The ground is light to moderately hilly and<br />
the line of sight, as well as traversability, is<br />
mostly good.<br />
The arena for stage 3 is Sävja IP and<br />
consists of a couple of football pitches and<br />
several adjacent activity areas close to the<br />
residential area Sävja.<br />

the mind than<br />
for the body<br />
STAGE 4 & 5<br />
SOUTHERN LUNSEN<br />
Lunsen - one of the<br />
finest orienteering<br />
areas in Sweden!<br />
The southern and middle parts of<br />
Lunsen are among the finest orienteering<br />
areas in the whole of Sweden<br />
and must be experienced. The terrain<br />
looks like something out of a fairy<br />
tale with a multitude of small hills,<br />
bogs filled with wild rosemary and flat<br />
rocks covered in reindeer lichen.<br />
Despite the proximity to Uppsala Lunsen<br />
mostly consists of untouched, pathless, wilderness.<br />
But in the area closest to the arenas<br />
in Sävja for stage 3 and Flottsund for stages<br />
4 and 5 there is a large <strong>number</strong> of trails that<br />
will be used for routes that require them.<br />
For the harder routes, the lightly rolling<br />
country creates a challenge that is more<br />
strenuous for the mind than for the body. It<br />
will, in other words, be exciting orienteering<br />
in fantastic and enjoyable terrain. Whether<br />
it is the finest terrain in Sweden or not is for<br />
you to decide.<br />
The two final OL-stages at O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
Uppsala 2022 have their arena at beautiful<br />
Flottsund where the Fyrisån river empties in<br />
Ekoln, the northernmost part of Lake Mälaren.<br />
In this area you will find beautiful walking<br />
areas and natural bathing places.<br />
Sample leg from Lunsen, orange difficulty. The red<br />
route choice is shorter while the green one is safer.<br />

All MTBO participants at O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala will<br />
use the Sportident Air+ system for contactless<br />
punching. Using SIAC brings a whole new<br />
dimension to MTBO and enhances the feeling<br />
of orienteering at full speed even more. Vital<br />
seconds can be earned when controls can be<br />
visited without stopping.<br />
MTBO takes place within<br />
cycling distance of O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City<br />
The MTBO competitions at O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala 2022 will be held in close<br />
proximity to Uppsala and O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City. All five stages are just a few<br />
kilometers from O-<strong>Ringen</strong> camping. Also, at four of the five stages the<br />
arena is shared with foot orienteering, which we hope will create a great<br />
atmosphere for competitors in both disciplines. There is therefore an<br />
opportunity to take part in both MTBO and foot O, as well as making it<br />
easier for families who want to participate in both disciplines.<br />
Stage 1<br />
Along Uppsala’s western edge you will find<br />
Hågadalen Nåsten, a rich and varied nature<br />
reserve. Within the nature reserve you’ll find<br />
agricultural landscapes, lush groves, dark forest<br />
areas, bare rocky terrain and swarming bogs.<br />
The reserve has been used by humans for millennia,<br />
so today you can enjoy habitats teaming<br />
with biodiversity, and also discover lots of exciting<br />
ancient remains. O-<strong>Ringen</strong> MTBO starts<br />
with a long distance race, with both route choice<br />
legs and more intensive orienteering. Technicality<br />
of the trails for riding varies substantially,<br />
from narrow trails on rocky tops, bridges over<br />
bogs, downhill sections, technical MTB trails,<br />
fast paved trails, and forest trails. The finish line<br />
is found at Arena Pattons Hage, the same venue<br />
as for the foot orienteering stage.<br />
PHOTO PETER HOLGERSSON<br />
Stage 2<br />
Vårdsätra forest is a small and beautiful forest<br />
in southern Uppsala. The forest is close<br />
to residential areas and is popular for outdoor<br />
recreation. The nature is rich and varied<br />
with coniferous forest, deciduous forest,<br />
hazel groves and old pastures. Almost all of<br />
our Swedish tree species and several foreign<br />
species grow here. In terms of cycling, it is<br />
mainly fast paved paths, but also forest paths<br />
and MTB tracks as well as asphalt in built<br />
up areas. Stage 2 is a middle distance race<br />
with a lot of route choice within a small and<br />
dense path network. As in stage 1, the finish<br />
is located at Arena Pattons Hage together<br />
with the foot orienteering.<br />
Stage 3<br />
Stadsskogen (”The city forest”) is situated in<br />
central Uppsala, just a kilometer from the<br />
castle. It is actually a park, but due to its size<br />
and character, it bears great resemblance to<br />
a typical Swedish mixed forest. Coniferous<br />
forest dominates, and the area has been a<br />
nature reserve since 2005. Stadsskogen is a<br />
popular outdoor recreation area for Uppsala<br />
residents. Stage 3 will be a sprint distance<br />
event in Stadsskogen's labyrinth of fast hard<br />
trails and narrow forest trails. Plentiful<br />
micro-route choices will ensure that it’s easy<br />
to get lost even though you are almost in the<br />
middle of the city. The finish line is found at<br />
arena Kåboängen, located in the northern<br />
part of Stadsskogen.<br />
Stage 4<br />
Norra Lunsen is a large and high-lying forest<br />
area. On barren rocky terrain, lean and<br />
sinewy pines grow with plenty of wetlands<br />
in between. Deciduous trees are in the clear<br />
minority, with only a few aspen and birch<br />
trees to be found within the mostly coniferous<br />
forest. The fourth stage in Lunsen will<br />
be a long distance race with route choice legs<br />
crossing a variety of different terrain types,<br />
including narrow trails inside Lunsen, dense<br />
path networks close to suburban areas, and<br />
pine forest trails towards Hågaån. The finish<br />
line is located at Arena Flottsund with the<br />
foot orienteering.<br />
Stage 5<br />
Årike Fyris is located along the Fyrisån river<br />
just south of Uppsala city. Along the western<br />
edge of the area are two of Uppsala ridge’s<br />
heights, Ultuna- and Sunnersta ridges. Ancient<br />
waterways run along the ridge and river. The<br />
ancient castle on Sunnersta ridge marks the<br />
important role of the Fyris river. The ridges<br />
also consist of valuable natural environments,<br />
rich in typical dry slope flora and sand-living<br />
insects. During the final stage chasing start,<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> cyclists will encounter a completely<br />
different type of terrain: ridge terrain with<br />
short steep slopes up to 30-40 meters, as well<br />
as more flat sections and built up areas. A<br />
dense dirt, gravel and sand path network and<br />
route choice legs characterise the final middle<br />
distance race. The finish is the same as for<br />
stage 4, located at Arena Flottsund with the<br />
main O-<strong>Ringen</strong> foot events.<br />

EVENTS<br />
Next year, O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala starts early, already in<br />
February, with an online O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Torus competition.<br />
Digital TempO has been established as a fun and difficult<br />
competition during a time when we could not compete in<br />
ordinary competitions.<br />
It is therefore timely to introduce this competition also on the<br />
largest orienteering event in the world. Competing in this digital<br />
event will also give you a taste of the terrain before the summer<br />
event. Just like O-<strong>Ringen</strong>, the digital event will include 5 races,<br />
7–12 February. This schedule includes a free day, where perhaps we<br />
may provide a special event to discover Uppsala. For those of you<br />
that have never tried TempO, it is a challenge to quickly translate<br />

TempO is therefore also an excellent practice for regular<br />
orienteering. The competition will mainly include forest course,<br />
similar to the ones during O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Uppsala, but also in the<br />
city. O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Torus will be arranged in collaboration with<br />
Torus (torus.yq.cz) and with quality controls from experienced<br />
organizers. Some kind of price will behold the winner, but more<br />
about prices and other practical information will be published on<br />
the social media of O-<strong>Ringen</strong>. However, you can already visit the<br />
Torus website to practice your skills in reading maps.<br />

or inside, Uppsala has a wide range of bars and<br />
indoor & outdoor cafés.<br />

Carl Linnaeus is one of the world’s most famous scientists. Nowhere else are<br />
there as many traces of him as in Uppsala. Walk along one of the Linnaeus<br />
trails to his summer residence in Linnaeus’ Hammarby, visit the Linnaeus<br />
Museum, which was his home, or enjoy the calm in the Linnaeus Garden – a<br />
green oasis in the middle of Uppsala. linneuppsala.se<br />

Just three kilometres from Uppsala city centre is the<br />
Gränbystaden Shopping Centre with over 160 shops,<br />
restaurants, cafés and other services. Here, among other<br />
things, is the first 4DX cinema auditorium in Sweden.<br />
NATURE<br />
Take it easy, in the middle of the<br />
city or just around the corner.<br />
Take a walk in the Årummet waterside development along<br />
the Fyris River. Relax in the City Garden or one of the other<br />
parks in the city centre. Only 15 minutes away, you will find<br />
bathing areas, hiking trails and hidden spots deep in the<br />
forest. Or how about a ride on the Lennakatten narrow-gauge<br />
heritage railway through the beautiful summer Uppland.<br />
A wealth of experiences.<br />
Uppsala’s attractions range from large-scale concerts and sports<br />
events to intimate gigs, exhibitions and displays. Throughout the<br />
summer, there are concerts and entertainment on the outdoor<br />
stage at Parksnäckan (“The Park Snail”) in the City Garden,<br />
where popular Swedish artistes and children’s favourites can<br />
often be heard.<br />
CULTURE & HISTORY<br />
A pink castle.<br />
Uppsala Castle was built by King Gustav Vasa in 1549 and has<br />
played a major role in our Swedish history. It has been the scene<br />
of several dramatic events involving bloodbaths, conspiracies,<br />
plots and murder, and not least the abdication of Queen Kristina,<br />
which took place here in 1654. Today, the castle is home to<br />
the County Governor, but also houses three exciting museums:<br />
Uppsala Art Museum, the House of Peace and Vasaborgen<br />
(Uppsala Castle Museum). You can also enjoy Uppsala’s best<br />
views from here with a roof-top walk on the castle roof.<br />

Do you know Peter-No-Tail? The famous cat lived in Uppsala<br />
and left his paw prints here. Nowadays, you can meet him in<br />
his play park, on guided walks and as a statue. Pussyfoot over<br />
his own pedestrian crossing to the district of Åsgränd, where he<br />
lived with his beloved Maja Gräddnos (Maya Cream Nose),<br />
but which was also home to Elaka Måns (Mean Magnus), his<br />
armour-bearers Bill & Bull and the other cats.<br />

BOOK TIPS <br />
More Pearls<br />
and Curiosities<br />
in Uppsala<br />
“Marvel at everything, even the most<br />
commonplace.” — “Omnia mirari<br />
etiam tritissilma” This motto of Carl<br />
Linneaus appears on a plate at the<br />
entrance to the Linneaus Garden on<br />
Svartbäcksgatan, Uppsala, Sweden.<br />
The motto has been a principle of<br />
authors John Ringh and Lars-Åke<br />
Skagegård as they wrote “Fler Pärlor<br />
och Märkvärdigheter i Uppsala”<br />
– “More Pearls and Curiosities<br />
in Uppsala.”<br />
When you are in Uppsala for the O-<strong>Ringen</strong>,<br />
in the summer of 2022, the classic sights of<br />
the city will be readily apparent. John and<br />
Lars-Åke have written a guide to unexpected<br />
and less known places in Uppsala.<br />
The book introduces readers to a “gasque,”<br />
a traditional party at a Studentnation.<br />
Readers may be horrified by Dalpelle’s<br />
execution, then enjoy the Skytteanska<br />
Garden, along with fika at Café Uroxen.<br />
The authors move freely among archbishops,<br />
poets, bandy players, princes, storytellers,<br />
and a cement queen.<br />
These are a few of the “pearls” to which<br />
the reader will be introduced. The history of<br />
trains to Uppsala and through the Uppland<br />
countryside is covered in some detail. Places<br />
like Engelska Parken, Seminarieparken,<br />
Galgbacken Domarringen, and the Skytteanska<br />
Trädgarden are introduced.<br />
Other Uppsala curiosities discussed<br />
include the mosaic in Gottsunda Church,<br />
the Prince Gustaf statue outside Carolina<br />
Rediviva, and the artwork Poetisk viloplats/<br />
Poetic Resting Place in Tullgarnsparken.<br />
You’ll find “Fler Pärlor & Märkvärdigheter<br />
i Uppsala” to be an invaluable guide to<br />
the commonplace and the unexpected in<br />
Uppsala, during the O-<strong>Ringen</strong> week and any<br />
other time.<br />

PÅ TURNÉ <br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> on tour<br />
During the late summer and autumn,<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> has been doing O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
on Tour with our partner Suzuki. The<br />
tour is ongoing so we will show up at<br />
upcoming events as well.<br />
The purpose is to meet all of you who usually<br />
participate at O-<strong>Ringen</strong> and get to talk<br />
about what you look forward to in Uppsala<br />
and at our future O-<strong>Ringen</strong> destinations,<br />
discuss how we can develop O-<strong>Ringen</strong> together<br />
and to simply be at the competitions<br />
and at the arenas again.<br />
So far we have visited the World Cup in Idre,<br />
the Youth Championships in Falköping, the<br />
Swedish Championships in Strömstad and<br />
Daladubbeln.<br />
On November 13-14, we are at the<br />
O-event in Borås. Hope to see you there!<br />
Vi stämplar in.<br />
Hemdagars (“Home"-<strong>Ringen</strong>)<br />
a success among Swedish clubs<br />
Vi har bestämt oss, vi är överens. Kartan är ritad,<br />
kompassen inställd.<br />
Målet är att bli en grön fabrik.<br />
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, O-<strong>Ringen</strong> has been cancelled two<br />
summers in a row. This summer, “Hemdagars”, a kind of "Home-<strong>Ringen</strong>” concept,<br />
was created to provide participants with an opportunity to go orienteering<br />
and feel connected to the O-<strong>Ringen</strong> community.<br />
The concept was a great success - towns<br />
and orienteering clubs throughout Sweden<br />
arranged their own “Hemdagars” events,<br />
where courses were planned in local forests<br />
that were appreciated by many participants.<br />
“We wanted to contribute opportunities<br />
for physical activity. The most important<br />
for us was that people could get out and<br />
walk, jog or run an orienteering course”, says<br />
38 O-RINGEN MAGAZINE NR 1 • <strong>2021</strong><br />
Niclas Lidström, project manager of “Hemdagars”.<br />
The result of “Hemdagars” was really<br />
great; it was appreciated by clubs throughout<br />
the country. Thanks to our main sponsors<br />
Alewalds, Biltema, Svenska Krämfabriken,<br />
Silva and Bagheera we were able to offer<br />
plenty of lotter prizes to lucky winners<br />

Ett liv närmare naturen fick<br />
Karna att flytta till Åre.<br />
Nu laddar hon inför<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> 2023.<br />
Hösten 2018 gick Karna Thorsson runt hemma<br />
i Uppsala och längtade efter en förändring. En<br />
önskan om att komma närmare fjällen, lära sig<br />
att åka skidor och få springa mer i bergsmiljö.<br />
När hon fick se att Åre kommuns samhällsbyggnadskontor<br />
sökte nya medarbetare tog<br />
det inte lång tid innan ansökan var inskickad.<br />
Några veckor senare fick hon veta att hon var<br />
kallad på intervju och resten är historia.<br />
Idag arbetar Karna som planarkitekt på Åre<br />
kommun. Tillsammans med sina kollegor utvecklar<br />
hon detaljplaner som talar om hur<br />
mark- och vattenområden får och inte får användas<br />
i kommunen. Detaljplanerna är viktiga<br />
instrument för en hållbar och långsiktig planering<br />
av samhället.<br />
”<br />
Jag trivs jättebra på mitt nya<br />
jobb. Sedan är det så lyxigt att ha<br />
så fantastisk natur direkt utanför<br />
dörren när man slutat för dagen”<br />
Raka motsatsen mot Uppsala<br />
Karna är ett välkänt ansikte för många orienterare<br />
och tävlar sedan flera år tillbaka för OK<br />
Linné i Uppsala. Idag är hon en glad och aktiv<br />
motionär där träningen styrs utifrån dagsform<br />
och känsla. Sedan flytten till Åre har hon börjat<br />
träna med Åre OK, som är den enda orienteringsklubben<br />
i kommunen.<br />
– Orienteringen i Åre skiljer sig väldigt mycket<br />
från det jag är van vid i Uppsala. Här är det oftast<br />
väldigt kuperat med långa sluttningar och<br />
få detaljer. Alltså raka motsatsen mot Uppsala,<br />
berättar Karna.<br />
Ser fram emot orienteringsfesten<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> arrangeras som bekant i Åre 2023<br />
och Karna ser fram emot att var en del av arrangörsstaben.<br />
Hon med i gruppen som arbetar<br />
med förberedelserna inför elitklassernas<br />
sprintetapp i Åre by.<br />
– Om någon frågar mig vart man ska åka och<br />
bada på aktivitetsdagen så vet jag i alla fall vad<br />
jag ska svara. Mitt bästa tips är att åka upp till<br />
Ullådalen och ta ett dopp i Ullån. Det är väldigt<br />
uppfriskande!<br />

O-<strong>Ringen</strong> in Åre 2023<br />
It has been an intensive summer preparing for O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Åre 2023, making the<br />
most of the snow-free months. With the pandemic forcing postponement of the<br />
event by two years, we lost access to the area around Åre Björnen, where two<br />
stages were planned to take place. Forthcoming construction works prohibit<br />
use of this arena in 2023.<br />
“Together with the course planners we<br />
begun to explore the areas that had potential<br />
to host one or two stages and quickly found<br />
a solution that we are satisfied with”, says<br />
Magnus Johansson, competition director for<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> in Åre.<br />
The Norwegian course planners proposed<br />
an additional stage in Ånn, and one stage in<br />
Järpen. This means that the Åre event will<br />
take place as follows:<br />
• Stage 1 Trillevallen, long<br />
• Stage 2 Trillevallen, long<br />
• Stage 3 Järpen, middle<br />
• Stage 4 Ånn, middle<br />
• Stage 5 Ånn, long<br />
“The area in Ånn offers good terrain to<br />
run in and we think that it is big enough to<br />
host two stages”, explains Magnus Johansson.<br />
That Järpen was offered as a solution was<br />
thanks to a discussion in the early planning<br />
stages that were put to one side. Now those<br />
plans for a stage in Järpen will come to<br />
fruition, although the stage will take place<br />
higher up the hillside than the area near the<br />
village that was originally considered. The<br />
area offers high quality terrain that will work<br />
well for a middle race.<br />
“Parts of this area offer really nice terrain;<br />
I would honestly say among the best you will<br />
find not only in Järpen but in the Jämtland<br />
mountains. I am really satisfied with the<br />
solution to hold a stage in Järpen and we<br />
have received really positive things from<br />
both the mappers and the course planners”<br />
says Magnus.<br />
Magnus Johansson<br />
Competition director<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Åre 2023<br />
The mappers Jerker Boman and Kalle Engblom<br />
have now spent just over a month in<br />
the area working on a new map. Although an<br />
older map exists, it had not been updated for<br />
several years and so the mapping duo were<br />
faced with a huge job to draw the new map.<br />
Even Ånn has been visited by our mapping<br />
team this summer. Two Czech mappers<br />
visited in order to finish the Ånn map, a job<br />
that was completed thanks to the lifting of<br />
travel restrictions permitting other European<br />
citizens to travel to Sweden this summer.<br />
“It was fun to be able to be here again<br />
and work on the map”, said Ales Hejna, who<br />
worked with Milan Bily to add the final<br />
missing details to the map in west Jämtland.<br />
This means that the majority of the mapping<br />
work is complete for the five stages in<br />
Ånn, Trillevallen and Järpen. Next summer<br />
the sprint map will be completed so that it is<br />
up to date with the latest construction work<br />
in Åre village.<br />
In other news, recruitment of volunteers for<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> in Åre is ongoing. We are fortunate<br />
to have great support from Norwegian clubs<br />
in the Trondelag region who are now also<br />
permitted to travel to Sweden and Jämtland.<br />
For most of the past 18 months, coronavirus<br />
restrictions have prevented all Norwegian<br />
citizens from travelling to Sweden without the<br />
need to quarantine upon return to Norway.<br />
“It is great that our Norwegian course<br />
planners have finally had the chance to get<br />
out in the forests after 1.5 years without that<br />
opportunity” says Niclas Lidström, project<br />
manager of O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Åre.<br />
During the late autumn all the course<br />
planners and controllers will come together<br />
among other things go and check the starts<br />
and control sites in the Jämtland forests.<br />
Speaking of the Norwegians, this autumn<br />
the Norwegian clubs have also been visited<br />
by project manager Niclas Lidström to<br />
present the opportunities that O-<strong>Ringen</strong> can<br />
create for their organisations. There were<br />
happy faces all around when O-<strong>Ringen</strong> visited<br />
Wing OK, based just outside Trondheim,<br />
this August.<br />
Intensive work is ongoing to secure accommodation<br />
for all participants in Åre 2023. First<br />
and foremost accommodation is planned to<br />
be offered in holiday homes, apartments and<br />
similar ski accommodation. However, the<br />
possibility for campervan/motorhome and<br />
caravan parking is also being explored.<br />
“Next summer, when O-<strong>Ringen</strong> takes<br />
place in Uppsala, we will open the booking<br />
portal for cabins, apartments and other<br />
accommodation”, says Niclas Lidström,<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> Åre project manager. “We will do<br />
our best to provide as much accommodation<br />
as possible”.<br />

vi redan 1954, bageriet<br />
blev helt fossilfritt redan 2013.<br />
DIREKT<br />
FRÅN VÅRA LOKALA<br />
RÅGHJÄLTAR.<br />
Rågmjölet i vårt knäckebröd är<br />
inte bara garanterat svenskt,<br />
det får vi från bönder som<br />
Anton Öhlund utanför Hedemora<br />
– men aldrig längre bort<br />
än 34 mil från vår egen kvarn.<br />
Ja, vi har en egen kvarn så att<br />
rågen kan komma så direkt<br />
som möjligt från gårdarna till<br />
oss, utan att åka omvägar. Allt<br />
för att minimera transporter.<br />
INGET GÅR<br />
TILL SPILLO.<br />
Hållbarhet handlar också om<br />
att ta tillvara. Den lilla mängd<br />
degrester och brödspån som<br />
vi inte kan ta tillvara, skickar<br />
vi till en annan bonde här i<br />
Dalarna. Han har kor och<br />
de älskar knäckebröd i vilken<br />
form det än kommer.<br />
FRÅN 1817 IN<br />
I MORGONDAGEN.<br />
Leksands Knäckebröd började<br />
med gammelfarmors mormor<br />
som föddes 1817, bara ett stenkast<br />
från där vi har bageriet<br />
idag. Och receptet är exakt<br />
detsamma. Som du förstår är<br />
kvartalsekonomin inget för oss,<br />
vi räknar sekler. Precis som du,<br />
tänker vi mycket på vad vi<br />
lämnar efter oss till våra barn.<br />
Följ med oss på resan mot en<br />
fin framtid genom att konstant<br />
sänka den där siffran i lövet<br />
på paketet. Utan att vi någonsin<br />
gör avkall på smaken.<br />
VI KAN GÖRA SÅ<br />
MYCKET MER.<br />
Även fast vi tagit bort all onödig<br />
plast i vårt bageri och väljer<br />
svensk kartong (som är dyrare<br />
än den importerade) för att<br />
undvika onödiga transporter,<br />
så räcker det inte. Vi måste<br />
bli ännu bättre om vi ska ha en<br />
värld värd namnet att lämna<br />
över till kommande generationer.<br />
Det är ett konstant<br />
pågående arbete som vi gärna<br />
delar med oss av.<br />

Situation report from Jönköping!<br />
The clubs in the region are ready to work with O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
and Destination Jönköping to organize and arrange<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> 2025: Annebergs GIF, Bodafors OK, Bottnaryds IF,<br />
Forserums SOK, IF Hallby SOK, IKHP Huskvarna, IK Vista,<br />
Jönköpings OK, Lekeryd-Svarttorps SK, Mullsjö SOK, SOK<br />
Aneby, Tenhults SOK, Ulricehamns OK, Vaggeryds SOK and<br />
SmOF.<br />
The decision to arrange O-<strong>Ringen</strong> here in 2023 (as the intention<br />
was before Covid-19) was made in December 2019. At that time,<br />
a club council was organized with Göran Carnander as chairman.<br />
Work soon started with a focus on finding a location for O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
City and all the stages. We knew from the very beginning that we<br />
wanted Elmia fairground with the beautiful view over lake Vättern<br />
as O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City.<br />
– Due to Covid-19 we will not be able to welcome you to<br />
Jönköping until 2025. We are now working hard to figure out where<br />
we want all the arenas, acquiring environmental permits and contacting<br />
landowners and hunters during this fall and winter so that<br />
we can hopefully present a concept next summer. This is to give us<br />
ample time to develop good maps for all disciplines, says Göran.<br />
What we already know about O-<strong>Ringen</strong> 2025 is that we are<br />
Jönköping by night.<br />
having a O-<strong>Ringen</strong> City around the Elmia fairgrounds and that the<br />
region offers varied terrain with the Vätterbranterna in the east, till<br />
terrain typical for Småland in the west and international terrain in<br />
the south. In addition to this terrain the region also offers a bounty<br />
of tourist attractions like moose parks, climbing, apple orchards,<br />
Store Mosse national park, Husqvarna factory museum, baths,<br />
and city. All this will give us a week 30 filled with activities during<br />
O-<strong>Ringen</strong> 2025!<br />

Description<br />
The course is in terrain with clear and connected features such as roads, larger paths, buildings and open land. The controls on a<br />
green course must always be placed on handrails and must provide reassurance that the competitor is following the correct route.<br />
Control features may be path bends, path junctions, telegraph posts, buildings or other clear features or objects.<br />
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<br />
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<br />
identified and distinct. As well as green course features, controls on white courses may also be on e.g. boulders, crags, fences and<br />
similar features.<br />
Yellow courses can be in more difficult terrain but runnability and visibility must still be good. The terrain must have a connected<br />
network of roads, paths, fences, waterways, open areas etc. Control points may be on more difficult features, for example on the top<br />
of a very distinct hill, but must always have a clear attack point. There must be a clear catching feature behind controls.<br />
Orange and red courses must use runnable terrain, with gentler hills and forest, preferably with areas of cultivated land. Terrain<br />
details must be clear. Compared to green, white and yellow courses, more difficult control features may be used, for example larger<br />
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<br />
feature behind it.<br />
Same as for orange courses but you can encounter all types of terrain.<br />
All types of terrain may be used. Very physically tough terrain should be avoided. All types of control feature may be used. Compared<br />
to orange and red courses, purple courses place higher demands on, planning skills, choosing quick routes ahead of safe routes and<br />
finding controls without clear catching features behind them.<br />
On blue and black courses, the difficulty should always suit skilled orienteers, even if anyone can compete. The increased difficulty<br />
level compared to other courses is because more of the orienteering uses contour features, detailed terrain and smaller features.<br />
Same as for blue courses but you can encounter all types of terrain.<br />

MAIN CLASSES<br />
Our main classes with five days of competition attract the most<br />
participants. Main classes have assigned start times for stages 1-4. For<br />
our younger participants there are introductory and development<br />
classes; Introduction (Inskolning) and Youth (U-klass). In these you<br />
have open start times and get a result, but only Youth has a list of<br />
results. Everyone participating in the Introduction class gets a prize.<br />
The final stage is a chasing for all main classes, except Introduction,<br />
Youth and DH10 – DH12.<br />
SHORT CLASSES<br />
This is the competition for those who want a little more flexibility<br />
in start time and shorter courses, but who are at the same time<br />
attracted by the competition. Free start time means you can start<br />
whenever you want between 8.30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Chasing start<br />
is applied on stage 5.<br />
OPEN CLASSES<br />
Open Classes will allow you to select courses with a variety of<br />
lengths and difficulty levels, letting you challenge yourself or a<br />
friend. These are avaliable for Foot-O (12 classes) and MTBO<br />
(3 classes). Entry to Open Classes is not restricted by age or gender.<br />
The course lengths will be a little shorter when it is the middle<br />
distance for Foot-O on Friday. Every Open Class has open start<br />
times for each stage.<br />

MTBO CLASSES<br />
MTBO runs over five days and in 4 out of 5 days the arena is<br />
shared with the Foot-O. Assigned starting times for stage 1-4,<br />
followed by an exciting chasing start that will determine the<br />
overall winner on stage 5. MTBO is fast-paced and is very much<br />
about making the right path and making quick decisions. The<br />
map is similar to the one used in regular orienteering. The biggest<br />
difference is how paths and roads are shown on the map. The road<br />
and the path's ride are reported where you can simply say that the<br />
longer the lines on the map, the faster the path can be cycled.<br />
As before, it is allowed to double (introduced before O-<strong>Ringen</strong><br />
2019 in Kolmården) in both OL and MTBO. However, you may<br />
not duplicate with the intention of reconnoitering before participating<br />
in the other branch. If you participate in the Elite Tour, you<br />
may not participate in MTBO stage 4.<br />

TRAIL-O CLASSES<br />
In the Trail-O competition map knowledge is in focus. Each control<br />
has up to five alternate screens. You must remotely determine<br />
which screen is correctly placed according to the control ring<br />
on the map and the control description. You compete in a class<br />
determined by its difficulty level, rather than age and gender. The<br />
competition takes place in easily passable terrain, that is trails and<br />
roads that can be navigated by wheelchairs, bicycles, etc.<br />
