Orlinek is a ski jumping hill in Karpacz, Poland.
History[edit]
The first hill in Karpacz (then Krummhübel, German Empire) was opened in 1912. The record was set by Karl-Heinz Breiter in 1938 at 45.5 metres (149 ft)[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 94.5 metres (310 ft) belongs to Adam Małysz.
