SLO:

SKAKALNICA NA HKAVČEVI PLANI
Vodstvo leta 1931 ustanovljenega Smučarskega kluba Lesce se je odločilo, da zgradi
štiridesetmetrsko smučarsko skakalnico. Na Hkavčevi plani je bil zgrajen lesen nalet
na betonskih podstavkih. Doskok je bil na bregu, poraslem s smrekami, nad hraškim
pašnikom. S posekom smrek in zemeljskimi deli so pridobili po vseh pravilih ustrezen
hrbet in doskok. Skakalnica je bila preveč izpostavljena soncu. Zaradi tega so morali
na nalet donašati sneg.

Skakalnico je zgradil tesarski mojster Valentin Šparovec z Lipnice v letu 1933. Ob
otvoritvi je skakalnico blagoslovil župnik Franc Avsec. Na trening in tekmovanje je bil
povabljen tudi smučarski skakalec Norvežan Gutarensen. Prenočišče in prehrano je
dobil pri Olipovi družini. Njegov skok je bil najdaljši, skočil je čez kritično točko in
padel. Predno so s skoki nadaljevali domači skakalci so popravili odskočno mizo.
Skrajšali so jo za en meter in precej zvišali. S tem so zmanjšali dolžine skokov.
Vili Vrhunc, po domače Beškolov iz Lesc, je dosegel 37 metrov - najdaljši skok med
domačimi skakalci. Rekord skakalnice pa je dosegel Gutarensen.

Plačniki gradnje so bili njeni pobudniki. Med prvimi je bil Pavel Olip, nato Janko Šumi,
Slavko Šušteršič, Anton Legat in Herman Hieng. Zaradi stroškov vzdrževanja
ogromnega lesenega naleta in donašanja snega na nalet so skakalnico še pred drugo svetovno
vojno podrli. Skakalnico je podrl in les odkupil tesarski mojster Janez Mulej iz
Studenčic. Na žalost danes ni nobenih ostankov, ki bi nakazovali, da je bila tu nekoč skakalnica.

Naloga:

1. Koliko metrov je znašal rekord skakalnice? (AB)

2. Katerega leta je bila slavnostna otvoritev skakalnice? (CDEF)

3. Kaj danes stoji na mestu, kjer je bil nekoč iztek skakalnice?

- Hipodrom (G=8)

- Golf igrišče (G=5)

- Tenis igrišče (G=2)

Končne koordinate: N 46° 21.(CDEF-38*AB+388) E 014° 08.(AB*21+10*G)

SKI JUMP ON HKAVČEVA PLANA
The management of Lesce Ski Club, founded in 1931, decided to build
a forty-meter ski jump. A wooden ramp was built on Hkavčeva plana
on concrete bases. The landing was on a bank overgrown with spruce trees, above a 
pasture. By cutting down spruce trees and terrestrial parts, they obtained, according to all the rules, an appropriate
knoll and landing zone. The ski jump was exposed to the sun too much. That's why they had to
bring snow on the inrun.

The ski jump was built by master carpenter Valentin Šparovec from Lipnica in 1933. 
At the opening, the ski jump was blessed by pastor Franc Avsec. 
The Norwegian ski jumper Gutarensen was also invited to Lesce for training and a competition. He received accommodation and food
from Olip's family. His jump was the longest, he jumped over the critical point and
fell. Before the local jumpers could continue with jumping, they had to repair the take-off table.
They shortened it by one meter and raised it considerably. This reduced the jump lengths.
Vili Vrhunc, from Lesce, reached 37 meters - the longest jump among
Slovenian jumpers. The hill record was achieved by Gutarensen.

The payers of the construction were its initiators. Among the first was Pavel Olip, then Janko Šumi,
Slavko Šušteršič, Anton Legat and Herman Hieng. Due to maintenance cost
of the huge wooden inrun and the need to bring the snow on the inrun, the ski jump was destroyed even before the second world war. The ski jump was torn down and the wood was bought by master carpenter Janez Mulej. Unfortunately there are no remains of the ski jump anymore.

Task:

1. What was the hill record (longest jump) achieved by Gutarensen? (AB)

2. In what year was the grand opening of the ski jump? (CDEF)

3. What is located today at the place of the former ski jump?

- Hippodrome (G=8)

- Golf course (G=5)

- Tennis court (G=2)

Final coordinates: N 46° 21.(CDEF-38*AB+388) E 014° 08.(AB*21+10*G)
