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. Both terrains have narrow passageways, arched pedestrian tunnels and hidden corners. 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.

Landscape is formed by the southwest-northwestbound Pikknõmme ridge which is surrounded and hinged by strips of moors. The ridge is hinged quite well, the height of rather steep slopes are around 10-15 m. Moors are not wet, but rather soft and soddy. Primarily pine forest of good or very good runnability albeit several spruces and deciduous trees can make the visibility poorer. Northwest slopes of the ridge are prone to be covered by windfall trees.

The award ceremony will take place on Sunday according to the finishes. The three overall best in all classes will be awarded.
The appropriate signposts will appear from the 32th kilometre of Piibe road.
