Max Eyth Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Keefertal connects the Stuttgart districts of Münster and Mühlhausen. There are not many cars on this wide road, which is why there is enough space for walkers and cyclists. …

Palm's Palace (Mühlhausen District Town Hall)

The castle, built around 1260, is still the largest medieval ruin with upright masonry in Stuttgart. From 1369 to 1753, the Lords of Neuhausen were the local and castle lords of Hofen.

Hofen Bridge and Hofen Lock

Highlight • Bridge

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 …

April 20, 2024,Stadtwanderung_34: 4 Burgen Weg

This tour is part of the collection:

komoot.com/de-de/collection/1104664/-w-u-anderbares-stuttgart

The 4-Castle Hiking Trail with its beautiful route is a successful mix of city - country - river and a pinch of history, winegrowing and views. It crosses the Neckar twice and skirts the Stuttgart districts of Mühlhausen and Hofen . . . close to the city and still lots of nature! …

October 8, 2025,Nachmittagsrunde um den Max-Eyth-See

🅿️ We were at the large free parking lot on Mühlhäuser Straße opposite Max-Eyth-See on Wednesday afternoon. From there, we walked along the lake and the Neckar River to the Hofen Castle ruins. Then we crossed the Neckar River on the Four Castles Bridge to Mühlhausen, to the Walburgis Church and the former Palm Palace. Our path continued up through …

July 29, 2021,Runde um Max-Eyth-See mit Strandfeeling

This round was only on tarred roads. You can park in a large car park on Mühlhäuserstrasse or the lake is also very easy to reach by tram. The last part of the round was again not recorded 😩

January 10, 2025,Stuttgart 🙎🏼🌤️🙍🏼‍♂️die 4 Burgen 🏰 Rundwanderung

Today, finally, no constant rain and no stormy atmosphere 😂! So we were inspired by ☀️BirgitonTour☀️'s 4 castle tour! Thank you very much for that. We deliberately chose an asphalt tour because we didn't want to go into the forest after the constant rain. So this morning we took the train 🚆 to Stuttgart and then the U 12 🚇 …

April 30, 2025,Stuttgart : 4-Burgenweg und Max-Eyth-See

I just wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Since I didn't start until midday, this tour was just the right length.

I took the S-Bahn and tram to Max-Eyth-See and off I went, walking along the lake. I had to be careful not to step in the duck droppings.
