Terrain and map

The terrain is divided into two parts: the Rotermann Quarter and Forum Quarter with its surrounding areas. Rotermann Quarter can be considered a prime example of modern city center in which different enterprises and shopping streets can be found, the latter being the reason for the ample amount of pedestrians.

In addition to all mentioned, there are a few artificially created forbidden areas which are amplified on the map and monitored by a referee. Terrain has minimal vegetation.

Possible dangers: streets open to traffic, hidden car park barriers around corners, pedestrians moving in public space.

There are many checkpoints around the terrain, please be sure to check the marker numbers! ISSOM rules apply for the sprint which determines the forbidden/allowed symbols.
