Ljubno - a town that lives with ski jumps
In upper Savinja Valley, about halfway between Ljubljana and
Maribor lies Ljubno, which opens the way to the beautiful
Logar Valley.
The first ski jumping attempts took place before the Second
Wold War when Jaka Vodušek carried out experimental jumps
on his military skies and today, these jumps could be called ski
jumping.
Since 1947, when an agreement was signed to design a 60m
ski jump with the Planica ski jump designer, engineer Stanko
Bloudek, the jumps have been constantly upgraded and
completed.
At the beginning of the millennium, the hills were completed
with plastic grounding and lighting, which created one of the
best conditions for ski jumping training in Slovenia. The largest
hill, which enables jumps exceeding 100m, is constructed in
accordance with FIS regulations.
