Na Pekrski gorci so leta 1955 zgradili prvo smučarsko skakalnilnico (K60). Načrte zanjo je naredil inženir Stanko Bloudek. Skakalnica je bila takrat po velikosti druga največja v Sloveniji. Kasneje so jo po načrtih bratov Gorišek rekonstruirali za skoke do 80m. Na njej se je med leti 1971 in 1982 odvijala turneja treh dežel, ki je poleg Maribora gostovala tudi v Beljaku in Trbižu. Tekme v smučarskih skokih si je prišlo ogledati tudi do 20.000 ljudi. Zaradi milih zim, vse manjšega števila obiskovalcev in prenosa velikih tekem v Planico, je skakalnica sčasoma začela propadat. Razpadajočo skakalnico so dokončno odstranili leta 1993. Če na objavljenih koordinatah pogledate v smeri Pekrske Gorce, lahko morda opazite, kje je nekoč bilo doskočišče skakalnice.
ENG:
In 1955 the first ski jumping infrastructure in Maribor was constructed at “Pekrska Gorca” hill as a K60 after plans of the famous ski jump architect Stanko Bloudek. At the time, this was the second highest jumping hill in the Slovenia. Later it was converted into K80 ski jumping hill according to brothers Gorišek construction plans. From 1971 to 1982 Maribor was host of the annual three countries tournament, including Villach and Tarvisio. Up to 20.000 sport fans came to see the ski jumps. Due to mild winters, decreasing number of visitors and relocation of big events to Planica, the jumping infrastructure began to deteriorate. In 1993 the complete ski jumping facility was finally removed. If you look (at the published coordinates) in the direction of Pekrska Gorca, you may see where once ski jump landing area was.
