The Large Ski Jump in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
The Large Olympic Ski Jump on the Gudiberg in Partenkirchen, with its impressive 60-meter-high steel tower, was not only the annual Four Hills Tournament but also the venue for the 1936 Winter Olympics. The historic Olympic Stadium, which houses the Large Olympic Ski Jump and four other smaller ski jumps, also dates back to this era.
The ski jump in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where jumps of up to 144 meters can be achieved, is also within your reach during your vacation in Farchant. Explore the jump, which was rebuilt in 2007, on your own along the circular trail or book a guided tour.
If you're feeling really brave, try the Flying Fox and soar through the air like a ski jumper. If you prefer something quieter, you'll find a small permanent exhibition about the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the east side of the stadium. To get that real Olympic feeling, you should also visit the Olympic bobsleigh track near Lake Riessersee.
