For stage three we head east to
Järpen. The area north of the village
of Järpen offers good orienteering
terrain. The arena is high up and the
terrain is less hilly than in Trillevallen.
Here, it is important to be able to vary
the pace of orienteering between the
detailed and finely cut high sections
and the more easily runnable and less
detailed finish towards the finish line.
Here it is a mixed forest with spruce, pine,
and deciduous trees. Active forestry is carried
out in the competition area, so there are
both newer clearings and some green areas.
Visibility varies greatly, but there is a
greater element of poor visibility than on the
other stages. Part of the forest is set aside for
conservation and is fantastically beautiful.
Here there is sparse pine forest with only a
little lichen or low bilberry bushes on the
ground. The easily runnable heights are
finely cut in parts and are perfectly suited to
the medium distance.
This fine area is reached by the slightly
longer courses. Most courses finish through
an area with overgrown clearings where visibility
is sometimes down to a couple of meters.
Here it is important to be careful with
the direction. It will be extra difficult to keep
the speed down and sharpen the orienteering
technique for those who come from the
finer area where the speed has been turned
up and the visibility has been very good. The
terrain is weakly to moderately hilly.
