History

Sondre Norheim set the second men's ski jumping world record in history and only one on this hill with 19.5 meters on 8 March 1868.
Originally, distance was measured in ells, an old Norwegian unit. One Norwegian ell equaled 62.75 centimetres. The first recorded ski jump was originally measured at 31 ells.
In 1986, Morgedal IL club, built two new K20 and K40 hills, called Hauglandsbakken, on the exact same spot as the old historic hill. They are now also abandoned.
