Malmalling has a flat to moderately steep terrain with scattered granite features. There are areas of low visibility which will increase the challenge of navigation. Runnability is highly variable. The vegetation has been updated where most relevant but there is still a lot of local variation which is not shown. In some areas grass trees reduce visibility.
