The east of Berlin offers two race courses: the Trabrennbahn Karlshorst and the Galopprennbahn Hoppegarten. In the southwest you will find the Trabrennbahn Mariendorf. Just for the fun, you take the opportunity to bet on a horse. Of course, for those who don’t like to tempt fate, the sheer speed of the horses can be exciting on its own.
