Orienteering = the ultimate brain workout
It sharpens your navigation skills by teaching you how to read maps and use a compass—hello better memory and focus!
You're constantly solving problems on the go, thinking fast, adapting to changes, and staying sharp.
And for older adults? It’s more than just fun—it helps protect against memory loss and dementia.
So next time you’re out in the woods, remember: you’re training your brain, not just your body
Beyond Maps is co-funded by the European Union.



Teamwork: Group orienteering helps you work better with others by sharing tasks and solving problems together. Community: Events bring people together, creating friendships and networks. Family Fun: Great for spending time with loved ones outdoors.
