Excursion destination "St. Georg ski jump Winterberg"
16 minutes by car or 16.1 kilometers from the hotel.
Beim Wort "Skispringen" denken wir meist an mit Schnee bedeckte Schanzen und dick eingemummelte Zuschauer. Skispringen ist jedoch ein Sport, der ganze Jahr ausgeübt wird - beispielsweise in Winterberg.
Here, at Herrloh in the Winterberg ski lift carousel, is the St. Georg ski jump, designed by Fritz Gladen and built in 1959. Since 2000, it has been a mat jump for use without snow, and since 2007, it has once again been in operation as a year-round jump. Visitors can also climb the steps of the jump. Once at the top, they can enjoy a wonderful view of the Sauerland region.
Today, the ski jump is mainly used as a training venue for young ski jumpers from the Winterberg Ski Club. In the past, it was the venue for German championships and the Summer Grand Prix in Nordic combined.
