Gazing at the Reithalle, one can almost hear the echoes of hooves and laughter. This isn’t just any riding arena. The Reithalle at Alsterquelle is a testament to modern equestrian pursuits, nestled amidst a nature preserve on Hamburg’s northern edge. The Reithalle itself, measuring 20 by 60 meters, is a marvel of modern engineering. Its fully insulated structure and high-quality footing provide the perfect training ground for both horse and rider. Light floods the space through windows on two sides and even the ceiling windows are electrically operated, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. This careful design extends beyond the Reithalle. The facility underwent a complete renovation in 2017. Now it boasts luxurious restrooms, a heated 40 square-meter tack room, and a meticulously ventilated stable with 30 spacious boxes. Each box even includes a hay rack for constant access to roughage. Imagine pampered horses enjoying solariums and warm water washes after a training session on the equally impressive 20 by 60-meter outdoor arena. The Reithalle isn’t just a building. It’s the heart of a vibrant equestrian community. Riders can gather in the comfortable lounge with its coffee machine and TV, overlooking the Reithalle. The grounds offer a variety of training options, from a drained outdoor arena and a spacious jumping arena with a sand-watt surface, to a longering circle and even a galloping track. The surrounding landscape adds to the charm. The adjacent Henstedter Moor nature reserve invites leisurely strolls, while carefully managed pastures and paddocks ensure year-round access to mud-free outdoor time for the horses. The Reithalle at Alsterquelle embodies a harmonious blend of nature and modern equestrian luxury. It’s more than just a place to ride. It’s a place where the love of horses thrives.
