Orlinek is a ski jumping hill in Karpacz, Poland.

History

The first hill in Karpacz (then Krummhübel, German Empire) was opened in 1912. The record was set by Karl-Heinz Breiter in 1938 at 45.5m (149.3feet)[1] During the WWII the hill was abandoned and destroyed. After the war Karpacz was placed under Polish administration. A second hill was built under the leadership of Stanisław Marusarz. In 1962 Orlinek collapsed during storm. The new one was built in 1978 then modernized in 2000.[2] The current record of 94.5m (310feet) belongs to Adam Małysz.
