The best road cycling routes around Max-Eyth-See

The Hofen weir clearly marks the transition from the „Bonatz weirs“ to those of the 1950s: the roller weir, probably co-designed by Bonatz, has the weir bridge over the downstream for the first time since 1927. In the lock built in 1957, a lift-and-turn and a lift-and-slide gate are combined. In the impoundment area is the Max-Eyth-See, which was created in 1935 for a water sports exhibition accompanying the Neckar canalization.

The Cannstatter Zuckerle is a single vineyard site on the Neckar, supported by numerous dry stone walls.

Good view of the railway line between Stuttgart and Mannheim.

Rosenstein Palace in Stuttgart is a neoclassical palace located in the Rosenstein Park. Today, it houses the Natural History Museum with fascinating exhibitions on wildlife and ecology.

The tower spire impressively enlivens the mighty structure. The simple half-timbering is striking due to its ornamental clarity. The half-timbering is decorated with diamond motifs and curved bands. Fachwerkstock and gable floors of today's town hall were added in 1687 on the renovated walls of a wine press. This was already documented in 1541 and in turn formed the ground floor of a previous town hall. This predecessor building from the period 1590 - 1599 burned down – just like St. John's Church – in the Thirty Years' War (1643). The predecessor building was probably erected between 1590 and 1599. A partially preserved year number on the southern round arch portal supports this assumption. A wine press with two beams to be maintained by the Duke and a house above it has been documented since 1541. A "beam" is understood to be a long, horizontal piece of wood used to turn the spindle of the grape press. The building erected around 1590 was therefore already the successor to an earlier building that existed at this location. Information about the reconstruction in 1687 is provided by a wooden plaque above the main entrance. This inscription with the letters "SHSSR" and "BIW" suggests the then mayor Jakob Schmalzried and the then mayor Jakob Wetzel. The carpenter's tools depicted below and the designation "MW" indicate the carpenter, who is no longer known by name. The number "1687" indicates the year of construction. The offices were located densely packed above the wine press. Since 1728, they were accessible via an external staircase, which replaced a steep staircase inside. This staircase was removed in 1884. Until the renovation in 1956 and 1957, six oak columns supported the ceiling of the wine press floor. They were removed, and an intermediate ceiling and a curved internal staircase were installed. This created a new intermediate floor with offices, which is externally recognizable by the newly added row of windows. Since the municipal reform in 1975, the Münchingen town hall has been the seat of the Münchingen administrative office. The citizen service, the Münchingen registry office, and the Office for Family, Public Order, and Real Estate are now housed here and in the neighboring Widdumhof. https://youtu.be/xut_zU_pfDw?si=HtF7LyMTL2zyrDrF

Blends beautifully into the landscape. For hikers and cyclists only.

Easy route to drive.

Even if you don't want to buy any plants, it's worth walking through the very large exhibition area, as there are flowers here depending on the season, and the different tree species (including sequoias) are also worth seeing.
