Woods, meadows and concerts
Bahrenfeld scores points with the Altonaer Volkspark - the largest park in Hamburg. The park offers not only woods and meadows, but also a miniature golf course and a large dahlia garden. It is a wonderful place for an outing. Nearby is the harness racing track where hundreds of trotting races are held annually. In the summer, the jockeys frequently make way for open-air concerts. If you like larger concerts or sporting events, check out the listings at the Arenas. They are close together and host many events.
shopping
When the A7 highway was constructed, it divided Bahrenfeld and took away it’s historic center and marketplace. This division is set to change, however, as the city is constructing a cover over the highway which will reconnect the two sections. The district is undergoing significant changes. Trendy shops have settled in former factory buildings between Gassstraße and Mendelssohnstraße. Their nearest neighbors are design hotels and supermarkets for daily needs. For even more shopping opportunities, one does not have to go far to Ottensen or to the various shopping malls in the vicinity.
With various S-Bahn stations, the AKN and various buses, public transport is very good here and you can reach the city center in about 15 minutes.
