Orientation in the forest

On a beautiful autumn day, you set out to explore the mountains on a hike with your partner. At one point, you decide to leave the main trail to get away from the noise of the group that is following you too closely and also to spice up your outing. After going deeper into the forest, you walk for a long time in the quiet before turning back. All of a sudden, doubt creeps into your mind; are we going in the right direction to return to the reception? You doubt more and more, because the landscape is nothing like the one you saw on the way... That's it, you don't know which way to go anymore...
