The St. Georg ski jump is located in the Winterberg ski lift carousel at Herrloh. The Winterberg ski club trains promising young talents there. The St. Georg ski jump has already hosted German championships and the Nordic Combined Summer Grand Prix. Its K-point is at 80 meters. The hill record has been held by Manuel Fettner (Austria) since 2000 with 89.5 meters.
The ski jump was built in 1959 and converted into a plastic covered hill in 2000. In 2007, it received a new ice track and snow nets, so that the summer hill became a year-round ski jump again. This closed an important training gap for athletes from the Winterberg/Willingen region at the national base of the German Ski Association (DSV).
