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.

Beautiful view of the locks on the Neckar, located directly on the cycle path.
Weekend and nice weather and you will notice how busy a cycle path can be.
Therefore, I recommend either starting early or preparing for some slalom :)

Located on the Neckar. There is a run-of-river power station there that is operated by EnBW.
