Surname

In the Balinger Swabian language, the article is firmly connected with the noun, so that it is spoken of "dr D-Eye". The term “Deya” can also be found in older reports, for example in the Topographia Sueviae by Matthäus Merian from 1643/1656.

Places on the river

On its almost 50 kilometers long route to the northwest, the Eyach crosses or grazes the following communities:

Albstadt ( Pfeffingen , Margrethausen , Lautlingen , Laufen an der Eyach )
Balingen ( Dürrwangen , Frommern , Balingen, Engstlatt , Ostdorf )
Haigerloch ( Owingen , Stetten , Haigerloch, Bad Imnau )
Horb am Neckar ( Mühringen )
Starzach ( Felldorf )

At Eyach or the Eyach train station, two kilometers west of the village of Börstingen (district of Starzach), the Eyach flows into the Neckar.

landscape

Deeply cut, meandering valley of the Eyach in Haigerloch

On its pleasant path from the Swabian Alb to the Neckar, the Eyach runs through a valley that has some impressive landscapes. The formation of the picturesque rock formations of Schalksburgfelsen , Gräbelesberg and Lochenhörnle near Laufen goes back to a former tributary of the Urdonau . The Eyach, which flows in the opposite direction today, is an example of how the river system of the Rhine expands at the expense of the Danube system. The river taps towards the Neckar have left a decapitated valley towards the Danube , over the beginning of which the shifted watershed now runs. The erosive power of the Eyach has created the massive, six-meter-high waterfall of the Eyach in Laufen ( Eyachlaufen ) on the hard waterfall layers , as well as the valley landscape near Haigerloch , the “rocky town”. Its city center is built along a rock face (upper and lower town). The Haigerloch Castle stands on a cut out of the Eyach ledge.

particularities

The name of the municipality of Starzach was derived from those of the two rivers Eyach and Starzel, which border their area in the west and east of the lower reaches .
