Trail no. 4 - "Ke skokanským můstkům"
Do you like adrenaline? Do you want to see something you can't see from the road? Then we have the right thing for you. Get on the Nová Skalka chairlift and then take a walk to our ski jumping hills along a comfortable, easy path; although it is uphill, it's just a short way away from the Ještěd transmitter.
The ski jumping hills with 115 m and 88 m construction points (K115, K88) were built under Ještěd in the years 1966 - 1967.
The entire complex was renovated prior to the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2009, which included ski jumping competitions on the Ještěd ski jumping hills.
