Where the Max Eyth Lake is located today, sand and gravel were mined in the 1920s. The resulting pit developed into a pretty lido with a lighthouse and excursion boats. In 1936, the facility was named "Max-Eyth-See" in honor of the Swabian engineer and writer Max Eyth. At that time, by the way, the lido was not yet a lake, but an extension of the Neckar River.
Today, the Max-Eyth-See and the adjacent extensive green areas are a popular local recreation destination. Fishing and boating can be done on the lake. The network of paths around it is ideal for walking, cycling and inline skating. And the meadows invite you to sunbathe, picnic and barbecue.
The northwestern part of the lake is also designated as a bird sanctuary. Walkers and ornithologists can observe gray geese, coots and cormorants here, among others. As one of Stuttgart's largest bodies of water bodies of water, Lake Max Eyth thus also contributes to biodiversity.
