Slovenia: GeoCaching in Tivoli, Rožnik and Šišenski Hrib Nature Park


After lunch Nada and me decided o find some GeoCaches nearby, so we went hiking to Tivoli, Rožnik and Šišenski Hrib Nature Park. One of them took us to the remains of the first large ski jumping hill of Slovenia's capital, Ljubljana.

Short history:
With “Skakalnica na Galetovem” the first large ski jumping hill of Slovenia's capital Ljubljana was constructed in 1954. Winner of the opening competition on the ski jump constructed by Stanko Bloudek was Janez Polda in 1955. Highlight of the jump's history was the competition for the Kongsberg Trophy in 1961 when 20,000 spectators watched winner Marjan Pečar. But then the ski jump at Šiška was already torn down in 1967.
