Wölfl

Went on another exciting orienteering adventure today inthe hills around Bolzano. On the menu today was a map called Wölfl in the middle of nowhere. No cable cars today instead we had an hour long bus ride that went through tunnels, up a gorge that makes the Buller gorge look pussy and up and down some ridiculously steep hills.
We got off at a little town called Nova Ponente and walked about 3km to the map. We didn´t mind the walk because the panoramic views of the Dolomites sprinked with snow took our mind off it.

The map was amazing! It is my new favourite. Had a forest floor like Gothenburg last year, the rocks were a little bigger than yesterday but still quite small andthe contours were a mix of flat swampy plateaus, big round hills and STEEP gullies. We did a course with some short legs to get into it and then some longer legs to finish. We are going to visit this map again later in the week. Its worth the 2 hours of bus ride and hour of walking return.

Some exciting things we saw today were a MASSIVE snail, a squashed frog, Heidi´s house, a St Bernard dog, a bus stop at a skifield.
