You'll need headlamp. Don't forget to bring it with you!
The Grand Bazaar offers a short and very fast orienteering within a net of small streets. It needs high speed and concentration. The most difficult part is “multilevel” orienteering which often requires climbing stairs. The open areas might be slippery if it rains. Due to historical ground, no orienteering or spiked/stud shoes are allowed! Coordinates : 41.009750, 28.969441 |
