Vogtlandarena, Ski jumping venue in Klingenthal, Germany
Vogtlandarena is a ski jumping venue in Klingenthal, Germany, located on the north slope of the Schwarzberg. It features a large hill with a construction point of 125 meters and a hill size of 140 meters, along with a rail lift and seating for 30,000 spectators.
The idea for a ski jump on this slope dates back to the 1930s, but construction of the current arena began in 2003 and was completed in 2005. It was officially opened in 2006 and has since hosted numerous international competitions.
The arena is a hub for winter sports in the region, hosting World Cup events and drawing crowds who come to watch ski jumping. The rail lift, used to transport athletes and equipment, is a practical feature that visitors often notice.
The venue is easy to reach from Klingenthal and offers open views of the hill and surrounding area. Visitors should check the schedule for events or training sessions, as access may be limited during competitions.
In 2024, the arena's outrun was transformed into an outdoor ice hockey rink for a series of games, showing how the space can be adapted for different sports. The hill record has been set and reset multiple times, reflecting the evolving skills of ski jumpers.
