I've liked this sporting goods store since I visited on one of my first visits to Hamburg. I'd compare them to REI in the US, in the sense that they focus on outdoor adventures, and have a high-quality selection of many different brands.
You can find equipment for biking, skiing, sledding, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, and probably a few I can't remember. They have an impressive selection of winter coats and boots (in the winter, anyway), and the children's section is pretty strong in my opinion. There is also a massive collection of travel books, a clinic for getting inoculated before you head off on your adventure, and even a full-service adventure travel agency for getting you there.
They carry a ton of well-known brands, including North Face, Arcteryx, Fjällräven, etc. Some of the items are not cheap, but there is a big sale going on now with discounts up to 50%, so you could get lucky.
The checkout is on the ground floor, and can sometimes take a while if there's a long queue. In general, though, I highly recommend this store. read more
