Galopprennbahn Hamburg-Horn, Horse racing venue in Horn, Hamburg, Germany.
The racecourse sits on spacious green grounds with a long track where horses gallop at full speed while crowds gather on the wide grandstand to watch the excitement unfold under the open sky.
Racing began here in 1869, making this one of Germany's oldest horse racing venues where generations of Hamburg families have come to enjoy the thrill of the races for more than a century and a half.
The Derby-Meeting in early July turns the racecourse into a festival where people dress up, place bets, enjoy music and food, and celebrate together in a cheerful atmosphere that feels like a community gathering.
You can reach the venue easily by public transport from Hamburg city center in just a few minutes, and the Hamburg Card offers free rides plus discounts that make visiting even more convenient for travelers.
A tunnel built in 1912 connects the grandstand to the inner grounds, letting you walk beneath the track to reach the paddock where horses and jockeys prepare before each race, creating a rare behind-the-scenes experience.
