    The hill can be viewed at any time. It's impressive when you stand in front of it.

      The only remaining ski jump of the Black Forest North Ski Association is located on the Katzenbuckel (624 m), the highest elevation in the Odenwald near the village of Waldkatzenbach. The Katzenbuckel ski guild, newly founded in 1949 in Eberbach, 15 km away, inaugurated its first ski jump in December 1950 and jumped up to 15 meters.

        The ski jump can be visited at any time, but it is very old

              Looks very interesting, but looked pretty deserted. Unfortunately the way up is closed as a private way.

                Hill no longer in operation.
                Have the impression that it is also left to its fate .. Still worth seeing if you walk past it

                  Due to unsafe snow conditions in winter, the ski jump was converted into a plastic covered ski jump. To promote young talent, there are next to the big and two smaller ski jumps next to it.

                      Small ski jump. Where if not here on the highest mountain in the Odenwald. However, I haven't heard of any Odenwald ski jumpers - the jumps in the Black Forest, Bavaria and in the east seem to be a bit higher.

                                          The Mattenschanze at Katzenbuckel is a historic ski jump near Waldkatzenbach, once used for training purposes. It was part of the Katzenbuckel Ski Club, which inaugurated its first jump in 1950. Today, the jump is no longer active and is rapidly deteriorating.

                                              Anyone visiting Katzenbuckel should take a detour to the Mattenschanze ski jump. The facility is idyllically situated in the forest and tells a lot about winter sports in the Odenwald.

                                                The gradient is impressive. You can only imagine how the ski jumpers accelerate and then jump off. This ski jump is already in disrepair, but it is still worth seeing.
