Max-Eyth-See
About

Max-Eyth-See is Stuttgart’s largest artificial lake and a beloved recreational oasis nestled between the districts of Mühlhausen and Hofen. Created in 1935 by reclaiming a former gravel quarry, the lake spans approximately 17 hectares and sits directly along the Neckar River. Named after Max Eyth, a Swabian engineer and writer, the site was originally an extension of the Neckar before being transformed into a nature reserve and leisure destination. Today, Max-Eyth-See offers a tranquil escape with pedal boating, fishing, birdwatching, and scenic walking paths. Its surrounding meadows and vineyards create a picturesque setting for picnics, cycling, and inline skating. The lake also hosts sailing and kayaking clubs, and features a bird protection island that underscores its ecological value. With restaurants, beer gardens, and panoramic views, Max-Eyth-See blends urban proximity with natural serenity, making it a year-round favorite for families, athletes, and nature lovers.
