It lies on the northern slope of a ridge that connects the Kreuzberg with the 842-meter-high [1]Arnsberg, in a narrow valley through which the Haselbach stream flows.

Due to its location in the middle of the valley, the jump is mostly sheltered from the wind and receives only a few hours of sunshine per day during the winter months, since the Kreuzberg is over 300 meters higher.

This means that the youngsters who have already outgrown the K-30 jump no longer have to travel to Oberhof in Thuringia regularly for training.

The K-50 jumping hill now serves as a springboard for young ski jumpers from Lower Franconia and the Rhön region to the Oberhof sports high school.

It was renovated in the fall of 1949 by members of the RWV Haselbach club, who formed work groups to build the jump.

All members of the club were called upon to help with the construction of the jump, either by volunteering 20 hours of work or by paying 20 German marks.

On January 6, 1953, in front of 8,000 spectators, the new jump was inaugurated with the Herbert Hoesch Opening Competition (named after the deputy chairman of the ski area of Lower Franconia at the time), which had a K-point of 75 meters.

[4] From January 24 to 26, 1964, the Nordic Winter Games of the Bavarian Ski Youth took place with 60 jumpers, the largest event to date, in front of 3,500 spectators.

The greatest distance, albeit a fall, was achieved by Henrik Ohlmeyer from SC Bischofsgrün with 74 meters.

Another competition on January 6, 1990 (Epiphany ski jumping) had to be canceled due to a lack of snow.

In 1997, the new ski jumps were built on behalf of the district of Rhön-Grabfeld with construction points of 16, 30, and 50 meters.

The opening competition was attended by 100 ski jumpers from six regional associations in front of around 1000 spectators.

Among the guests of honor was former ski flying world record holder Manfred Wolf from Steinbach-Hallenberg.

The Epiphany ski jumping, originally scheduled for January 6, 2005, was postponed due to lack of snow and rescheduled for March 12, 2005.

For financial reasons, a 15,000 euro snow net has not yet been installed, which is why the ski jump can currently only be used in summer.

The substructure of the landing slope consists of impregnated larch wood and around 500 cubic meters of basalt gravel.

The water supply for mat jumping in summer is provided by sprinklers, which are activated as required.
