A little bit more than a year ago a Photo book about Velika planina was published by the organizer of OO.cup. It all started with OO.cup, when I (I.Nagy) decided to have OO.cup organized for the first time on this beautiful alpine plateau. Making photographs of the area for promotional material was big fun for me as was chatting and drinking schnapps with herdsmen whom I've been meeting along the way. So in 2007 I came to idea that some nice publication should be made about this great place. Not long after, the project materialized in form of book, which not only contains landscape photos and shepherd portraits, but also some text in English and Slovene about the History, Herdsmen tradition, Alpine dairy farming in past and present etc... This book is a nice souvenir for any participat of OO.cup/2010 as it is about the exact place where some stages will be held!
Please take a look of a few randomly chosen page spreads here. The book is hardcovered, with 96 pages of 23,5cm x 21,5cm size and 170g/m2, glossy paper.

Note that OO.cup entrants can order the book through our online entries, for a special price of 12 EUR (normal price in the bookstores is 19 EUR). The book will wait for you at Competition Center.

The accommodation section is temporarily finished. New accommodation offer will only be added when we run out of certain type of accommodation. We strongly recommend you to book your accommodation as soon as you make final decision to come to OO.cup.
After strangely warm December, winter has finally arrived to Slovenia. Below see the detail of herdsmen's settlement on Velika planina as it looks in wintertime.

Some months ago the upper valley of river Savinja (Solcavsko district with Logar valley) was chosen as European destination of excellence 2009. More about it you can read
here.
Solčavsko district is a place where many of you will have their accommodation during the OO.cup. It is close to stages 1, 3, 4 and 5 and a bit farther from stage 2.

IMPORTANT: We updated the Accommodated section. Some new offers of rooms and apartments. There is still more to come, stay tuned.
Our Online Survey is to be closed in matter of days. This means that soon we will also publish the lucky winners of free entries to OO.cup 2010!

We have now published the first (and the main) part of our accommodation offer, which you can see under accommodation section. The rest will follow. If you are interested in pictures of
particular accommodation type, write us and we will send them to you. The bookings should be made through oocup.accommodation@gmail.com.

Please let us also remind you about the 3 day event XTREMOR that will be organized by us less than one week before OO.cup. This is a bit different kind of event, but in 2009 we all had great fun - competitors and the organizers. For sure we'll prepare some really cool orienteering at XTREMOR in 2010 as well. Check all about it here. The week between Xtremor and OO.cup will be filled with some interesting trainings on fine slovenian terrain. This basically means that you will have a chance to do some really exciting orienteering in Slovenia from 17th to 28th July EVERY DAY!!
Last but not least don't forget about our Online Survey, which can bring you the main prize - 3 free transferable entries to OO.cup! Everyone who has competed at least once at OO.cup can take part.

Due to certain delays of accommodation providers we are not yet able to publish the final prices of accommodation that we will offer. If you're in hurry or you want to book
something else than camp / bungalows, you can do it yourself at slovenia.info.
In the meantime please
kwik surveys
take our Online Survey. This survey is meant for everyone who has competed
at OO.cup at least once in her/his life and wants to win up to 3 free entries for OO.cup 2010. So, when we close the Survey the drawing will
take place.
1st prize: 3 (transferable) free entries
2nd prize: 2 (transferable) free entries
3rd prize: 1 (transferable) free entry
The tricky part of the survey is that we will close it without prior notice. It will last at least 1 week and at most 3 months. So, hurry up taking it :)! But please take those 10 minutes
to really read the questions and answers. Unfortunately, the survey cannot be taken annonymously if you want to take part in drawing. But no worries, whatever you write you will
not get on any black list or anything :))! However, we might eliminate you from drawing if it will be completely clear that you have not read the questions/answers ;).

Today we have made the final agreement with the leading camp in Upper Savinjska valley to host the Competition center of OO.cup/2010. This also means that all competitors that book
accommodation through us will have special discounts. The price information is not published yet, but we will do our best to do so in the course of next week. Any questions you
can still send to us at orienteeringonline.cup AT gmail.com.
With the camp deal it is now clear that the next OO.cup will be the best one so far from the social point of view.
The camp team will prepare side programme for us every evening. Stay tuned for more.
Many orienteers' tents are expected here next summer ...
