History:
Hollabakken is a small ski jumping hill located on the slopes of Hollahaugen, just below the medieval church ruins of Holla (Holla kirkeruin) in Ulefoss. The hill was in use from at least the 1870s until the 1970s. The earliest known competition with prizes was held here in 1881, and in the 1880s and 1890s annual events took place, featuring, among others, the Norwegian skiing pioneers Torjus and Mikkel Hemmestveit. The inrun initially started from the cemetery wall by the church ruins, and later – from 1960 – from a metal-and-wood tower (stillas), while jumpers landed on the nearby meadow Klokkertønna. For decades Hollabakken served as an important local school hill, hosting numerous school events, club competitions and so-called “gubberenn” (veterans' contests). During the 1962 kretsmesterskap distances of up to about 19 metres were achieved here, and local sources give a hill record of roughly 24 metres. After the inrun tower was moved to another hill (Skagerakbakken) in 1982 on the order of the Directorate for Cultural Heritage (Riksantikvaren), the site ceased to function as a ski jump; today only the slope beneath the church ruins remains.
