History:
The local sports club built a ski jumping hill in 1930 to honor Yugoslav Prince Peter Karadjordjević, who was then a 7-year-old boy. Interestingly, the name "Skakalnica nj. Vel. Prestolonaslednika Petra" (Ski Jump of His Highness the Heir to the Throne Peter) was officially approved by King Alexander. The construction of the facility was made possible by the enthusiasm of the local community, who collected over 70,000 dinars for this purpose, without any additional support.
The structure was designed by engineer Janša, a renowned skier (most likely referring to Janko Janša, participant in the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz representing the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, who founded the first ski school in Kranjska Gora and led the cross-country skiing team preparations for the 1948 Winter Olympics). The ski jump was built in Zaka, near the SK Bled stadium, close to the lake. The dimensions of the hill were calculated using models based on Norwegian facilities.
At the opening competition in 1931, the most experienced ski jumpers took part – both local and those from Norway, Czechoslovakia, and Austria. During the event, the first hill record was set at 34 meters, achieved by Bogo Šramel, which was also the national record at the time. That same year, Joško Janša (the brother of the hill’s designer) improved the hill and national record to 38 meters. In 1934, Tone Dečman jumped 55 meters in Bled, which became both the hill record and the longest jump in Yugoslavia at the time.
Alongside the K60 hill, a smaller K20 jump also operated. It is unclear how long the facilities remained in use. Today, a campsite stands where the old stadium once was, and only a few traces of the pre-war ski jumps remain.
