A very short trip to the ski jump

There are remnants of ski jump in Gdańsk which was open till 1960. The ski jump was located in `Dolina Radości' (see map)

Full trip is for MTB bike. Where the paved road ends is marked with green `cyclist icon'. One can turn right to Dwór Oliwski and then go along red line or drive along Bytowska street up to fish farm and turn right there. I prefer the latter, which is slightly longer.

The ski jump was built on a slope (on the left going uphill). On the slope of the valley opposite the ski jump there is a monument commemorating a fatal victim of an accident that occurred here (cf. photo pc260005). Perhaps it was not the best place since the monument was clearly visible by skiers preparing to jump.
