About

The tradition of horse racing dates back to the Middle Ages but the first horse racing track was established in 1833 on the territory of the current ZOO & Centennial Hall. The new racetrack was put into operation in 1907 & was the most modern hippodrome in all of Germany. Before the start of WWI, the Partynice racetrack hosted many races. Some people even lost their entire fortunes there. The Partynicki racetrack survived the siege of Festung Breslau almost intact & the horses raced here even during World War II - until 1941. 💎 What's more, 3 of the world's largest archaeological deposits of amber were found in Partynice. Excavated in 1906 & 1936, all 3 amber finds date back to I BC and weighted between 1,200 and 1,760 kg. Unfortunately, none of the deposits survived the siege of Festung Breslau. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◦: ✧✲✧ :◦━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ It will be a day full of unforgettable emotions 🥳! 6 exciting races, including international races of French trotters and younger horses. This is a great opportunity to admire the extraordinary skills of horses & riders, feel the passion of sports rivalries. Spend some time with us in a picnic-like atmosphere over a beer, some traditional polish grilled sausages, szaszłyki or bigos & polish dessert like rurki or waffles with whipped cream & fruit 😋 You might even make bets on the horses & win a fortune 😉 🙃 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◦: ✧✲✧ :◦━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👥👥👥👥 Let's meet here: 👥👥👥👥 ⏰ at 1.30 🎯 at the front gate of the hippodrome OR I got 3-4 seats in the car, so I can pick you up: ⏰ at 1 🎯 near the Wroclavia mall
