The “Talerz” Green Control Point in Chodzież is our largest arena — 30 permanent control points in the forests of the Podanin Forest District. There are four kinds of courses: family and short (easier), plus medium and long from 5 to 10 km, many in several variants.
The project “Support for outdoor educational infrastructure at the Nature Education Centre of the Podanin Forest District” was co-financed by the Provincial Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management in Poznań.
The start and information board are at the car parks on Góra Talerz near Chodzież.

The easiest — close to the start.
An easy route to begin with.
Several variants, about 5–7 km.
Up to 10 km — for the experienced.

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!
