History:

In the 1980s, a K35 ski jumping hill was built in Stara Fužina, a village located in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia, near Lake Bohinj. The facility was situated on a green slope opposite the Church of St. Paul and was called "Na Trati" ("Trati" in Slovenian means meadow or clearing). Reportedly, in the 1990s, the local Sports Association Avgust Gašperin planned to redevelop the hill to extend its size to K60 and to add K30 and K15 hills nearby. Based on a notification decision issued by the administrative office in Radovljica, the association began reconstruction work. However, a spatial planning inspector intervened, ordering the land to be restored to its original condition, arguing that the planned work did not constitute renovation but rather new construction, which required the appropriate permits.
The Bohinj municipal authorities requested a reopening of the proceedings, while the public institution of the Triglav National Park withdrew its previously positive opinion, citing "a clear case of fraud, arbitrariness, and irresponsibility."
Other press sources confirm that in the 1990s, national ski jumping championships for boys under the age of 15 were held on the K55 hill, organized by the Stara Fužina – Bohinj sports club. Another press clipping also mentions a competition scheduled for February 8, 1996, on the K40 hill.
According to local residents, heavy rainfall frequently caused landslides that damaged the hill’s structures, making the site unsuitable for regular ski jumping activity. Most likely, these problems, combined with administrative obstacles, led to the closure of the "Na Trati" complex. To this day, impressive earth embankments as well as traces of takeoff tables and inruns remain visible.
