History:

The first ski jumping hill at Delnice in former Yugoslavia was constructed in 1935 at Vucnik.
On March 7, 1948 the new K45 hill at Japlensky Vrj was inaugurated. The famous ski jumping hill architect Stanko Bloudek, who also built the Velikanka at Planica, was responsible for the construction. Later it was enlarged into a 60 meter ski jump. The last competition was alredy in 1980, since there has been no ski jumping.
But on March 1, 2006 the ski club of Ljubno in Slovenia organized a compe- tition there which reanimated this ski jumping hill. Nearly 5,000 spectators came to the hill in order to watch two young jumpers improving the over 30 year old hill record.
There is also a smaller hill which is used by the carnival clubs of the city for a yearly held carnival competition. The jumping hills’s stadium is used for cultural activities, too.
In 2008 the construction of three plastic covered hills K30, K15 and K8 has started and with the help of FIS the larger jump should be enlarged into a modern K80 hill.
