    Beautiful chestnut avenue that runs parallel to the Düsseldorf Grafenberg racecourse.

      The Rolander Weg is a good shortcut towards the racetrack.
      This is also where the Rochusclub is located, a wonderful tennis facility where international tournaments used to take place.

        The beautiful grounds of the racecourse can be crossed on foot or by bike.
        While the right grandstand houses the VIP lounge, the left one is the main older structure and is a listed building.
        A renovation backlog cannot be overlooked.

          The Düsseldorf-Grafenberg racecourse was built in 1909. The horse races, which have been organized since 1836, initially in connection with the Lower Rhine Music Festival, initially took place in the Golzheimer Heide, in the Bilker Busch and in the Benrather Heide, and from 1891 on the Lausward. It was not until 1909 that the current location in the Grafenberg Forest, southwest of Haus Roland, was gradually developed. The horse racing track is located in the Ludenberg district and is in the forest. There is also a golf club, parts of which are located within the racecourse area. There is the racetrack beer garden and the riding stable restaurant. The area has numerous bridle paths and several riding stables. It is operated by Düsseldorf Galopp, the Düsseldorf equestrian and racing club founded in 1844. The weighing building, the Old Scale, was built in 1913 and is a listed building. The jockeys are weighed there. There are also rooms for race management, the press and paramedics. There is also a golf club, parts of which are located within the racecourse area. There is the racetrack beer garden and the riding stable restaurant. The area has numerous bridle paths and several riding stables. There has been a tea house since 2013 that is used for events. The main stand was built in 1989.
          What is unusual are the height differences, which can be up to 15 meters depending on the race track. A key point is the elevation before turning into the curve to the home straight. On the home straight there is another climb to overcome.
          In 2019, ten days of racing were held at the Düsseldorf racecourse. Five group races will be held in Düsseldorf, including two classic mare races. The 1000 Guineas takes place in June. The Diana Prize is held in August and is part of the German Racing Champions League racing series.

                  Beautiful avenue with beautiful old trees that could certainly tell a long story.

                          Wrong location. Racetrack beer garden further south (on the racetrack)
