The Hoppegarten race course, right on Berlin’s doorstep in the state of Brandenburg, was Germany’s most important horse racing centre until 1945 and even today is still considered to be one of the most beautiful in Europe.

In Germany however the sport of horse racing itself actually leads a rather marginal existence – betting revenue has dropped off. But not in Hoppegarten. At the turn of the century in the classy Hotel Adlon in Berlin racing patrons let pass round a top-hat at the end of the season to make up the money lost in horse racing.

Racing days at Hoppegarten became international events and real crowd pullers.Quote_gray

Long hot summer - Berlin

Long hot summer Urban Beach Emulation

Wether you are into betting or you just love the atmosphere in Hoppegarten-either way, it's absolutely worth it to make the 30 minutes ride out of the city's heat. And try to make your way back via Müggelsee. Always good for a late evening FKK swim.
