Vlček bzw. Vlčí kámen (ger. Wolfstein) is a 883 meter high hill near Prameny (ger. Sangerberg) in Karlovy Vary region. Already in 1911 Leonhard Sabathil opened a guesthouse there and founded the winter sports club, since also a sliding trail and a 15 meter ski jump were set up.
With the Olympic Winter Games at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1936, ski jumping rapidly gained popularity and thus the ski jumping hill was enlarged. Local ski jumpers were able to perform jumps up to 45 meters then, and the hill record shall even have been at 75 meters.
Guesthouse and ski jump had only been in use until World War II; in 1966 Vlčí kámen became a nature reserve.
