In Ptacince, a village near Harrachov, in 1922 a jump of a Czech ski club was set up, on which jumps on more than 30 metres were possible. After the later extension of the hill 1927 the German Willy Dick jumped a hill record of 49 m. At the beginning 1930’s they built a new ski jump with a wooden tower not far away in the same valley on which jumps on nearly 70 m were reached. In 1937 a storm destroyed the inrun tower – the damage could not be fixed and so the dilapidated.
At Čertak already in 1920 the first wooden 40 ski jump was built by the efforts of a German hotel owner. Over the years the ski jumping hill was often enlarged and a smaller one was added. Sudeten-German championships, German youth championships and many exclusive international “Teufelsberg-Sprungläufe” (devil’s hill competitions) took place, whereby widths of over 60 or 30 m were reached. 1946 both ski clubs were united and jumping completely moved to Čertak. 1952 both hills were set up newly, but already at that time there were ideas to built a 100 m ski jumping hill.
In 1955 the facility was completely changed. The large hill was profiled into a K70 and the smaller into a K50. Also a new 30 m “pioneer ski jump” was added, which became one year later the first Czech hill with mattings. In the 1970’s this construction was dilapidating and so had to be renewed. In 1979 the facility was opened ceremonious after deep changings. The large hill had become a K90, the middle ski jump a K70 and the small a new K40 ski jumping hill.
The profiles of all three jumps have been actualised up to today, which is a merit of the local ski jump architect J. Slavik, and are still fitting the strict rules of the FIS. 1998 the K90 hill was plastic covered and a ceramic inrun trail installed.
