Ski jumping anyone?

In 1890 a ski jumping hill was constructed here at Fiskartorpet in the Nationalstadsparken at Norra Djurgården. It was nicknamed "självmördaren", the suicide hill. One reason for that was that you would land on or near the frozen lake, Laduviken. Fifteen years later, a bigger hill was built. The construction was deemed unsafe and around 1930 the current version was ready. Back then, huge crowds with up to 30 000 spectators would watch the ski jumping contests. Around 1980 it was left abandoned. A group of volunteers renovated the hill and there was a contest here some fifteen years ago. But this is how it looks today. Kinda sad. The buildings are used for conferences today, I think.
