Development

Cerkno Cup is the only big Slovenian orienteering competition to support development of orienteering in the local community - by maps and by financial aid!

Youth

The organiser invests all of the funds to support orienteering schools in Cerkno, Idrija, Spodnja Idrija and Črni Vrh nad Idrijo. Also - maps are primarily dedicated to youth trainings!

Why should you come?

  • Great maps and terrain

    Since early 90s' Cerkno Cup has offered great terrains and good maps. We've expanded to the most demanding areas in Slovenia ...

  • Challenging courses

    Cerkno Cup in last years offered a bit conservative courses, this year we promise you to take full advantage of our terrains ...

  • Rich side programme

    Would you enjoy brass band from Cerkno (balkan style), maybe some quiet Trail Orienteering, swimming pool or sauna or just retreat to the mountains?

  • Additional trainings

    A couple of demanding training sessions will be available in the nearby maps before the Cerkno Cup.

  • Reasonable entry fees

    Even if you miss the early dates for your entry, you will still not go bankrupt. Ask about discount for bigger groups.

  • Versatile accommodation

    Stay in a top mountain resort hotel, hostel, private apartments or in a camp site or use the hard floor! What suits you best?

  • Exploration of Slovenia

    Event centre is in the middle of the mountains. Nice peaks are within reach! In 30 minutes you can reach Bohinj, coast or Ljubljana in 1h.

  • To help our youth

    We're all volunteers! Our mission is to develop orienteering in Slovenia and primarily to ensure quality training and finance for our youth.

Q: What was the most interesting orienteering terrain you run in in 2018 – and why? Cerkno Cup! After the World Champs I travelled to Slovenia and ran Cerkno Cup. It was held in very beautiful and challenging karst terrain. We were warmly welcomed by the organisers and the quality of mapping/course setting was world class. It would be nice to see a World Cup or World championships in Slovenia soon!Tim Robertson
