At Jilemnice the first ski jumping hill "na Kozinci" was constructed in 1914. It allowed jumps up to 30 meters.
Taking Selfranga ski jump at Klosters, Switzerland, as a role model, K. Matějka built up the new hill "na Chmelnici" in 1922. This ski jump had a large inrun tower and in 1929 Sigmund Ruud jumped a hill record of 51 meters. Afterwards the jump was converted, the landing hill moved upwards for 10 meters and a judge’s tower was constructed. For this conversion the two engineers Hykš and Jarolímek were in charge and S. Ruud was operating advisory. Very strange with this jump is that it is spread over the territories of the three villages Víchová nad Jizerou, Hrabačov and Dolní Štepanice belonging to Jilemnice. In 1931 a large competition was organized with an attendance of even 30,000 spectators. On top were Sigmund Ruud and A. Bartoněm from Vysoké.
After World War II Karel Jarolímek made plans for the reconstruction of the ski jumping hill. These were realized in 1952 as a K50 with steel-made inrun tower and a stone-made take-off.
Furthermore a small ski hill was build near the railway bridge in early 1960's. The "pod lázněmi" hill was projected by Josef Zíta and relicts are still visible today.
