Set trails for the summer
Both in Leveld and in Torpo (Syningen) you can try two different orienteering trails whenever it suits you. A short trail of 2,5 - 3 km and a longer on of 4,5 - 5 km. There are 10 posts on each trail. Around the 1. August new trails will be available in the same areas.
The trails are suitable for beginners, but the knowledge on how to read a map is an advantage as part of the trails are only marked with the posts.
