History:

The ski jump in Tatranská Lomnica, located next to a small lake and also known as the “ski jump by Hotel Morava,” was designed in 1949 by the renowned ski jump designer Karel Jarolímek on the occasion of the town being selected to host the “Tatra Cup” (Slovak: Tatranský pohár) in 1950. This edition was intended to be particularly ceremonial, as it was meant to celebrate the 70th birthday of Joseph Stalin.
The construction of the Jazierko facility progressed extremely quickly; on January 15, 1950, the ski jump was inaugurated by Commissioner Dr. Viktor. Funds for the construction were obtained through a loan from the town. A distinctive feature of the hill was a very large artificial knoll and a long wooden inrun, the supports of which are still visible today.
The P point of the hill was initially set at 57 meters, but over time it was moved to 56 and even 52 meters, as athletes had difficulty reaching the distances anticipated during the construction of the facility. The first three jumps on the Jazierko hill were performed by Jaroslav Lukeš from Špindlerův Mlýn, with distances of 46, 48, and 50 meters respectively.
The ski jump frequently struggled with a lack of sufficient snow to hold competitions, which led to events being canceled or moved to other Slovak ski jumps. For this reason, the Tatra Cup in 1950, which was originally planned to take place in Tatranská Lomnica, was ultimately organized in Štrbské Pleso, on the ski jump located in the Mlynická Valley. Due to the shortage of snow, the next competitions on the Jazierko hill were not held until 1952.
In those competitions, the Czechoslovak athlete Bulín emerged victorious (43.5 m in his best jump), although the longest jump of the day was achieved by his compatriot Jelšič, who jumped 45 meters. In 1955, during Nordic combined competitions, the Czechoslovak athlete Remza landed a jump measuring 52.5 meters. In the same year, a downhill course was marked out in the “Na jamách” area, where events were held during the Czechoslovak Alpine Skiing Championships.
Due to persistently poor snow conditions, the Jazierko ski jump was used less and less frequently and was eventually abandoned and demolished, most likely in the first half of the 1960s. The lack of ski jumping facilities in Tatranská Lomnica led to a decision being made as early as 1964 to build a new one in the “Na jamách” area. The structures built there were later used frequently for many years, until their demolition in 2008.
