Terrain
Alternating deciduous and coniferous forest; karst terrain with many sinkholes (dolines), rocks, stones and some lapiaz areas. In places the low vegetation has grown more than expected; in other areas there is still a lot of deadwood/branches on the ground. Long trousers are recommended.
The forest is under continuous logging operations; please be vigilant with extraction tracks which may be hard to see and covered by tall grass or brambles.
Technical information
- Some regeneration areas are lower than the usual canopy (max. 3 m). The V3 (410.000) is therefore replaced by symbol 404.001 “open land with scattered bushes” and symbol 409.000 dense hatched green. This seemed more meaningful for runners.
- No stumps are drawn on the map.
