Hotel Igman and the Olympic ski jumps

Malo Polje (Igman Olympic Jumps) is an area with ski jumps designed for ski jumping, located approximately 30 km from the center of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the foot of Igman mountains. The bridges were built for the Winter Olympic Games, which took place here on 18. February 1984, the East German jumper Jens Weißflog became the winner.
