Old Hellmannsgrund Ski Jump

Pure sports history, but read for yourself:

The Nordic skiing section of the SG Langenchursdorf was launched in 1962 and the first ski jump was then built in Hellmannsgrund. In 1974 the jumping facility was expanded to include the pioneer flying hill. The inauguration took place in 1975 and consequently the Saxon Langenchursdorf developed into an important Nordic training center in the former GDR. Every year there was a competition for the "pottery cup" of the neighboring pottery town of Waldenburg. The last competition there took place in 1989.

I was very surprised that you can find something like this here .... but very interesting, especially when you consider that such facilities only came about because they were used regularly (thanks to the snow) ..... ;- )

Lost Place - Built in the 1970s and operated until the end of the GDR. Near the hill there is still a walkable bitumen training round for cross-country skiing in the forest.
