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. …

In 1728 the manor Mühlhausen was taken over by the Brothers Palm. On the foundations of the predecessor building they erected today's castle around 1813, which since its renovation in 1990 is used as a 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

Nice view of the locks on the Neckar, located directly on the bike path.

Weekends and nice weather and you will notice what can be going on on a bike path.

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! …

🅿️ 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 …

There you can follow the wine trail to Mühlhausen. From there you can easily find the way over the bridge to the opposite side of the Neckar and there you can …

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 😩

Went the 4 castle rounds with @Daniela E. today in the nicest weather. Spring is slowly coming out

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 🚇 …

Visited shanti or Barbara today ☺️
Walk the 4 castle path.
A beautiful rural corner and actually Stuttgart. Great views and the Max Eyth See is worth seeing with the many vineyards 👍🏻
It was a beautiful day and not just because the sun gave everything 😎🙋 ♀️

After lunch at the boathouse on the Neckar River, we went for a digestion walk around Lake Max Eyth in windy and cloudy weather. 🅿️ It was on Mühlhäuserstrasse.
