Destination "St. Georg Sprungschanze Winterberg"
16 minutes by car, or 16.1 kilometers from the hotel.
When we think of "ski jumping", we usually think of snowy slopes and thick crowds of spectators. However, ski jumping is a sport that is practiced all year round – for example in Winterberg.
Here, at Herrloh in the Winterberg ski lift carousel, you will find the St. Georg Schanze, designed by Fritz Gladen and built in 1959. Since 2000 it has been a mat ski slope for the season without snow; since 2007 it has again functioned as a year-round ski slope. Visitors can also climb the steps of the slope. Once there, they can enjoy a beautiful view of the vast Sauerland region.
Today, the hill serves primarily as a training venue for the ski jumping development team of the Skiclub Winterberg. In the past, it was the venue for German Championships and the Nordic Combined Summer Grand Prix.
