History:
Bielany has been one of the favourite winter recreation areas for Warsaw’s residents since the interwar period. People would come to the Vistula escarpment by tram from the city centre, and skiers and sledders enjoyed the natural slopes of the Bielany Forest and the surroundings of the Central Institute of Physical Education (today’s Academy of Physical Education). Among the now-forgotten sports facilities of the capital, two ski jumps in Bielany are also mentioned, the larger of which was located near the Camaldolese monastery.
After World War II, the tradition of winter recreation in Bielany was consciously revived. In 1949, the Bielany Culture Park was established, and in the first half of the 1950s two small ski jumps were built on the forested escarpment. They were used primarily by students of the nearby Academy of Physical Education and by athletes from the Spójnia sports club of Żoliborz.
The ski jumps were part of the mass recreational movement popular in the 1950s. In January 1953, the Polish Film Chronicle produced a short film titled “Warsaw Sunday” (PKF 6/53), entirely devoted to winter fun in the Bielany Forest. The film shows crowds of Varsovians skiing and sledding, cross-country races, and ski jumping on the Bielany hill, while the narrator emphasizes that on snowy Sundays “the Bielany area near Warsaw successfully competes with Zakopane.” The same season was described by the daily press – Życie Warszawy published a report from an open ski jumping competition held in the Bielany Culture Park on a “large natural ski jump,” with the participation of unaffiliated amateurs divided into age groups. A few weeks later, Przegląd Sportowy reported the ski championships of Warsaw’s schools and youth sports clubs, held in the Bielany Culture Park and including both cross-country races and ski jumping.
The Bielany ski jumps are also linked to the early career of an important figure in Polish ski jumping. According to eyewitness accounts, Tadeusz Kołder – then a student of the Warsaw Academy of Physical Education, later a coach of the Polish national team (1977–1981) and co-creator of the successes of Piotr Fijas and Stanisław Bobak – trained on the Bielany slopes.
In the following decades, the forest ski jumps gradually lost their importance. The wooden elements of the structures disappeared, and a nature reserve was established in the Bielany Forest, prioritising the protection of its valuable old-growth trees. Nevertheless, traces of the former facilities can still be seen in the landscape today – most notably the remains of the larger jump’s inrun embankment.
