History:

The ski jumping hill in Pohořany was located on a steep, forested slope above the Bystřice valley, between the road from Pohořany to Jívová and a nearby holiday settlement. The local ski jumping tradition dates back at least to the interwar period, when the first small jumping sites existed in the Pohořany and Nepřívaz area. The best-known hill, however, was built later – a steel K40-type jump with a wooden inrun and a clearly shaped landing slope. Next to it stood a smaller “K20” hill, used mainly by younger athletes. The hill was built and maintained by the ski section of the TJ Moravia sports club, based in the Hlubočky and Mariánské Údolí area.
The hill was in active use at least through the 1970s. Popular local competitions were held there, and jumpers of Moravia – sometimes joined by athletes from Lokomotiva Olomouc – trained and competed at various sites across Czechoslovakia. According to former athletes, the record on the larger hill was 45 metres (set by the jumper Babica), while the best jump by the local athlete Miroslav Sova reached 41 metres. A local trademark was the impressive “dvojskok” – a demonstration jump performed by two brothers from Dolany, descending simultaneously in two inrun tracks while holding hands. After a serious accident involving Jiří Raška’s cousin, the wooden inrun was rebuilt to improve smoothness and safety.
In the 1980s the facility gradually deteriorated – wooden parts were stolen, and the steel structure was eventually dismantled to prevent accidents. Today, only the concrete foundations and the clearly visible outline of the landing slope remain, and the former hill site has become a hiking spot and a local viewpoint.
