The “Dobrzyca” Green Control Point is in the Zdrojowa Góra Forest District woods, in the Gwda river valley. The arena has 14 permanent control points (numbers 31–44).
The 1:10,000 map with 2.5 m contours has six routes: two family (5 and 4 points), two medium (9 points each) and two long (13 and 11 points).
The project was co-financed by the Wielkopolska Regional Government and the Zdrojowa Góra Forest District.
The start and information board are at the former Płociczno forester’s lodge.

Pick your route
Route length is measured in a straight line between control points — how you get from one to the next is up to you. Families and beginners: start with the family or short route.
A loop for families with children.
The shortest variant.
Almost every point on the arena.

How to read the map
ZPK maps are detailed orienteering maps at 1:10,000 — 1 cm on the map is 100 m in the forest. The top edge of the map always points north. Here is what the colours mean:
Best runnability: you can walk or run freely between the trees.
The darker the green, the harder to get through. The darkest — better go around.
Meadows, clearings and fields. Good places to get your bearings.
Do not enter. Plan your way around it.
Contours show hills, hollows and banks. Posts often stand right by them.
Ditches, streams, ponds and marshy ground.
Dashed is a path, a thick line is a forest road. Fences and hunting stands are marked too.
Triangle S is the start, double circle F the finish. The post stands exactly in the centre of the circle. Purple lines are not paths!
