Ski jump Kulm
Tauplitz
In front of the mountain of the Hinterbergtal, the Grimming (2,351 meters high), is the Kulm, where the largest natural ski jump in the world is located. The word "KULM" has Celtic origins and means "forested mountain".
The Kulm ski flying hill was built in 1950 and was jumped by, among others, Hubert Neuper senior. Since 1953, international World Cup events have repeatedly taken place.
On September 2, 2004, the official groundbreaking took place to modernize the ski flying hill at Kulm. The first renovation works involved the new double chairlift, which primarily supports the athletes as an ascent aid.
During the FIS Ski Flying World Championships in 2006, the new start house located directly above the take-off ramp proved itself for the first time as a waiting room and snack bar for the ski flyers.

The ski flying hill is also an interesting and popular destination during the summer months. Due to its worldwide fame, the Kulm is a special attraction for many visitors and travel groups.
With the support of the municipality of Bad Mitterndorf and in cooperation with the Kulm organizing office, one of the most modern ski flying facilities has been complemented with several display and information boards. The many interested tourists, cyclists, mountain bikers, Nordic walkers, guests, and locals are not only presented with the 50-year history up to the present, but also the last winners and the technical data of the hill is vividly illustrated.
To also give guests and families the opportunity to take a break at the ski flying hill, a snack bar with drinks, snacks, and restroom facilities complements the offer.
