Halloween 2025 - Hamburg, Germany

The organizer behind the Spooky Halloween event in Hamburg has the following report to share:

The Halloween event was a success. We had a total of 19 players, two of whom were from Gothenburg. mrcoolwhat and his mother Turfmamman joined us and were warmly welcomed.

As planned, it slowly got dark during the event. Really spooky. Afterwards, we all went out for a delicious meal at a steakhouse. All in all, a very successful event and evening. I've already been asked if it will be repeated next year. I would say... YES.

So there you go, maybe book a visit to Hamburg for Halloween 2026.

A Zone Worthy of a Detour

Turf Insider is introducing a new section of the newsletter. Tell us about a special zone, that is a bit (or a lot!) out of the way, but definitely worth the extra miles. This time I will tell you about the zone Urturfaren in region Uppsala.

”Urturfaren is a zone located next to the oldest known rune stone in Region Uppsala. The rune stone and zone is inside a horse paddock. Getting to the zone involved crawling under the electric fence to the paddock and then walking about 5 meters along a path. The easiest way to get to the zone is by car and it takes about 35 min to drive there from Uppsala, if you don't stop for other zones on the way.

The rune stone in the zone is named Krogstastenen and is from 550 AD. It is still standing in its original place. The runes on it are very difficult to interpret, and the only word people agree on is the word ”stone”. The rune stone has a picture of a skull like man figure and this figure has given rise to the zone name, Urturfaren (The Original Turfer). Without the zone to guide you, it can be hard to find it.”

So which zone were you happy to make a detour for? Write a few sentences about it and send to insider@turfgame.com

November worst month of the year

November is in my opinion the generally worst month of the year, at least in Sweden with darkness and rain being common. The very northern parts of Sweden might get snow and that brightens things up. However, where I live, in Uppsala, November is a month of mostly cold, dark, wet days. A useful app to use when out turfing in these conditions is the Touch Protector app, now with cool lock designs. When in use, it prevents rain drops from activating the touch functions of your phone. Quite handy during your daily turf session in an area you are familiar with, more difficult to use if you are turfing in an unknown area and need to zoom in and out frequently.

Turf Picture of the Month

Turf Picture of the Month in October is Leselampen sent in by Toffio. Remember to take the zone picture with the camera function in the Turf app. Without the zone name and Turf logo, your picture will not be considered for Turf Picture of the Month. If you haven't used the camera in the Turf app to take the zone picture with, write it up a bit as a "Zone worthy of a Detour" :)

If you have a Zone picture you want featured as Turf Picture of the Month, send it to [Malto:insider@turfgame.com insider@turfgame.com] Please include your Turf nick for recognition!
