Ski Jump Adlerschanze
Adlerschanze ski jumps tower over Hinterzarten. These ski jumps speak to the importance of the Black Forest to winter sports. This facility serves a central role in the training of Germany’s national ski jumping team. The first jump was built in 1924. The estate belonged to the restaurant "Adlerwirt" and accordingly, the hill is called Adler-Schanze. The ski-jump stadium today is called Adler Ski Stadium and has 3 ski jumps. It is located behind Hotel Adler. Interested in touring the ski jump stadium? Public tours (in German) are given on Thursdays and Sundays at 11 AM between May and end of September. Call ahead to make a reservation or to confirm times. Tel. +49 7652 12060. Cost: 5 EurosWant to watch some ski jumping? Training takes place all year around, a few days per week, usually in the late afternoon. Take a walk to the stadium and maybe you are lucky to visit while they are training! Their up-to-date training schedule is here: www.skiclub-hinterzarten.de
