Information for teams – accommodation, training and embargoed areas and schedule for the last day

Accommodation

We would like to encourage teams that have not yet secured accommodation to do so without delay. This is an area sought after by tourists, in addition, during the OWC we will also organise the spectator races for approx. 1500 participants and they are already booking accommodation in this locality.

Please respect embargoed areas when looking for accommodation. We recommend using the capacities booked by us. You can find an overview of available accommodation options on our website. Here you will find the last few apartments in the Lakepark residence, and we also offer rooms in boarding houses and hotels in Česká Lípa. Alternatively, use our link on booking.com. We guarantee the capacities offered by us only until 10.3.2023! Send us your request as soon as possible to accommodation@wcup.cz!

Training

Check out our website for training offers.

Please always follow our basic rules. Almost all relevant training terrains are in nature protected areas. Therefore, all training activities shall be coordinated with the organisers. Don’t run sessions without previous email confirmation. Please respect this basic condition of our cooperation with nature preserve authorities.

We will continue to supplement the offered training areas for forest and sprint sessions.

We would also like to point out that there is a strict ban on training on the maps of the relay and long races of WOC 2021 (Husa, Čap), except for the period July 28 – August 4, 2023, when we managed to negotiate an exception. Please respect this, otherwise this area will become inaccessible to orienteering forever.

In the map with embargoed areas, you will also find recommended training areas.
