Location / Site
The property is located in Hoppegarten on the outskirts of Berlin on Rennbahnallee, a street lined primarily with villas from around 1900, across from the famous horse racing track. The historic racetrack community of Hoppegarten lies directly on the eastern outskirts of Berlin and has become a popular destination in the eastern Berlin suburbs.
Hoppegarten is conveniently located along the Berlin-Warsaw long-distance rail line, has its own S-Bahn connection to downtown Berlin and Strausberg, and is also situated along the B1/B5 federal highway (connecting downtown Berlin to the A10 highway). The Berlin A10 highway loop is only about 6 km away, and downtown Berlin is about 20 km away. You can reach Berlin Central Station by S-Bahn in less than 40 minutes, and the new BBI Airport is about 30 minutes away.

Attractions
The Hoppegarten Thoroughbred Racetrack, often described as the “most beautiful grass racetrack in Europe,” has a tradition spanning over 140 years. Regular guests included kings and emperors, as well as stars from the UFA film studio and the world of sports—Hoppegarten is a household name worldwide.
The home stretch, over 1,000 meters long, underscores the uniqueness of this historic racetrack.
Extensively modernized and renovated in recent years—Hoppegarten, arguably Germany’s most beautiful horse racing track, offers thrilling equestrian sports in the midst of a beautiful park setting just outside Berlin. Every year, numerous race days take place, attracting thousands of visitors.
In addition to the racetrack, Hoppegarten has other attractions to offer: lovingly restored turn-of-the-century villas, Dahlwitz Castle with Lenne Park, two churches, several supermarkets, and serves as a gateway to the capital and vibrant metropolis of Berlin, as well as to Potsdam with its numerous sights and cultural offerings—and as a gateway to Berlin’s scenic surrounding countryside with its forests, lakes, and numerous restored castles and manor houses. For horse lovers, there are riding stables in the immediate vicinity; water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy at the nearby Müggelsee and in Berlin-Grünau.
