History:

In 1930’s the largest ski jump of whole Norway was standing in the village Nordagutu in Sauherad municipality in Telemark province about 100 km south west of Oslo.
Narekollen was opened on 1934-01-28, the first hill record was established at 64 meters. On 1936-03-12 Arnold Kongsgård improved the distance record on 96.5 m, afterwards there was great hope in being able to host the worldwide first jump on more than 100 meters on Narekollen. But then only three days later Austria’s Josef Bradl realized this at Planica with 101 m. In 1939 Hilmar Myhra than jumped on more than 100 meters, but the could stand his jump.
On 1948-03-21 the very last competition was organized at Sauherad, but only on the smaller substitution hill Åslikollen.
