Planica, 8 December - Ski jumping started developing early in Planica, starting with the construction of a 20-metre hill in 1930. With the help of talented local engineers, it grew into a haven of ski jumping records, a title it held for decades and which it is now trying to reclaim, and finally into a cutting-edge centre of Nordic sports.
