As the host of the 22nd European Foresters’ Orienteering Championships I am delighted to welcome you. It’s a great honor that after 1998 and 2004 Hungary could host this long stand- ing traditional event again. After Bugac and Eger/Szilvásvárad in cooperation with the Hungarian Forestry Association and the Orienteering-Pécs Foundation we try to do our best to organise a high-standard and memorable event in Pécs. During the six days 350 competitors from 15 countries will line up to match their preparedness and endurance. But these six days are not only about competition. EFOL events are always special for us foresters to leave the everyday’s treadmill; to meet friends not seen for long and to see our beloved forests with a different eye. I can assure you that also this year professional and cultural programs will be held in beautiful natural environment and in attentive and friendly atmosphere. The preparedness, dedication and hospitality of my organizer colleagues is a guarantee for this event, which will have an effect on the international cooperation, personal and professional relationships of the forestry specialties. In this spirit, I would like to wish you successful, fair and good competitions! I am confident that this EFOL event will generate good impressions and we could welcome you as guest at Mecsekerdő in the future again. With forester's friendship, László Keszi CEO, Mecsekerdő Forestry Co. Ltd. 3 Dear participants! Dear Colleagues! In recent years the number of tourists, hikers and forest visitors has increased significantly in Hungary. More and more of them are coming specifically for sports in the woods. Runners, trail runners, cyclists, horse riders. “The forest is the largest stadium” – this is the hungarian foresters’ message for all of you. Welcome to you now in this Hungarian stadium! I hope beside the excitement of sport and the competition you will also have the time and energy to get to know the region's forests. In addition to natural assets you should get to know the forest management practices, which preserve these values. Over the last century Hungary doubled its total forested area, and we are confident that this work continues in the future. Our professional community, the Hungarian Forestry Association will celebrate its 150th anniversary next year. During this long period we have witnessed a lot of good initiatives. The sports events organized for forester professionals belong to these good initiatives which represent long-term values. EFOL and EFNS races develop friendships and professional relationships as well. We are pleased that after many years we are again hosting an important event of the European foresters’ community. Welcome to Hungary! I wish good competitions for all of you! Péter Zambó President, Hungarian Forestry Association Dear forest owners, workers for forestry organisations, subcontractors, individuals with a forest education, family members, During the 22 year history of EFOL we have the privilege to be the first ones to visit the forests in a country hosting the event already for the third time. This fact and the entries from over 350 competitors from 15 countries is an evidence of the strong EFOL tradition. We nevertheless have a challenge to increase the number of participants and to expand our geographic area. I can say with confidence that we shall once again derive satisfaction from the well- tended forests around the scenic Orfű in the Mecsek mountains, benefit from the presence of highly competent forestry professionals, enjoy social gatherings, friendly people and excellent food, and, last but not the least, compete in a quality orienteering event in all EFOL races: be it sprint or middle distance, individual or a relay race. I thank all the organisers of the 22nd EFOL and wish the entire EFOL family to fulfil their expectations for the week. Enjoy yourselves!
