@gast + @amanda
The links will only work if you include this code in a block with type=”catalog/navigation”.

It’s good to display 2-tier categories. But how to display more than 2-tier subcategories like this?

Good stuff. Magento is powerful, weak on documentation, and marginally bloated. But until I build or find better I am all in.

I looks good, but what if I want to overwrite the Mage_Catalog_Block_Navigation class?
Then I won’t be able to use my custom methods in this code.
A better way to initialize the block is
$obj = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(‘catalog/navigation’);
