Orienteering club „RIS“ Delnice

Orienteering club "RIS" Delnice is established on February 12^th 2000. It promotes orienteering in Delnice, Gorski Kotar and Primorsko – goranska county in order to someday achieve the status of Olympic sport. 

It assists club members in the quality development in order to worthily represent the club on sports and a personal level. In the area of Gorski Kotar club members organized the 1998 European military and 1999 World military orienteering championship and 2010 World radio goniometry championship.

Taking into account the regional competition Alpe Adria Cup in 2004 it may be concluded that the specific areas covered by green karst and proximity to coastal resorts are a winning combination that every year attracts growing number of fans of this sport.

Orijentacijski sport - suvremeni oblik aktivnog odmora

Tranzitivni oblik različitih načina kretanja čovjeka u prirodi je temelj za nastanak većine sportskih aktivnosti. Orijentacijski šport je vrlo zanimljiv individualni šport koji omogućava svim zainteresiranima da osim fizičke kondicije usavrše svoje znanje iz područja čitanja i primjene karte, te upotrebe kompasa. Orijentacijski šport zahtijeva sudjelovanje, a ne promatranje, što ga čini atraktivnim i prihvatljivim, kako športašima tako i rekreativcima. Okružje za bavljenjem ovim športom su široki netaknuti šumski prostori, te, posljednjih godina, urbana područja u kojima se organiziraju sprint utrke koje osim svoje atraktivnosti imaju i vrlo važnu promidžbenu ulogu.

Orienteering – modern form of active vacation

Form of human movement in nature is the basis for development of most outdoor sport activities. Orienteering sport is very interesting individual sport which allows all participants not only to improve their physical performance but also to improve their map reading and compass skills. It is not a sport for passive bystanders because its attractiveness and acceptability is achieved through involvement. Orienteering mostly takes place on vast untouched wooded areas, and, over recent years, urban areas where sprint races are organized, which beside their attractiveness also have promotional character.
