The world's largest ski jump is the venue for the FIS World Cup, where the top ski jumpers compete for important World Cup points and try to smash the previous year's records.

At the heart of World Cup competition action
For years the Ski Jumping World Cup in Willingen has been Germany's premier winter sports event. Tens of thousands of spectators pack out the Mühlenkopf ski jump arena and cheer on their heroes. The ski jumpers themselves look forward to the competition in Willingen with its festive atmosphere and the jump right into the middle of the spectators.

A visit to the beautiful town of Willingen in North Hessen is always a pleasure as you can enjoy it at many different levels. To start with, we recommend checking out the lay of the land from the Hochheide tower or the Mühlenkopf ski jump and then venturing underground and exploring the Christine visitor mine.

Glassblowing has a long tradition in Willingen and is still practiced today. If you are interested in how this fragile material is produced why not take a trip through the Upland region to the Willingen glassworks. The "Haus des Gastes" (visitor centre) is the venue for many different kinds of events with something to suit everyone's taste.
