In October 1892, the first endurance ride took place as a competition between the officers of the German and Austrian armies. The distance covered was 575 km from Berlin to Vienna and back. Naundorff vividly describes this incredible race, detailing the preparations, the segments of the route, and the experiences along the way. The reader is transported into the racing events of a long-gone era. This book is a reprint of the original edition from 1892.
