Plan your lake time
Destination guide

Steckborn combines an historic old town and the Lower Lake waterfront. The Turmhof is a distinctive feature of the townscape. For a first visit, focus on lanes, historic buildings and a pause overlooking the lake.

What to explore

Three good reasons to visit.

01

Old town

Let the streets and little views guide you. This stop rewards slowing down, pausing and giving the place time.

02

Turmhof

Look beyond the overall view. Shapes, façades and small details make this stop interesting. Check current visiting arrangements if you want to go inside.

03

Lower Lake shore

Make room for a pause here. Watch the water and take in the atmosphere by the shore without deciding on the next stop just yet.

Leave room to wander. Bring an idea.

A day that could be yours

A visit between old town and Lower Lake need not be complicated. Use the Turmhof as a point of orientation, then follow the lanes. A waterside pause gives the historic townscape a quieter backdrop.

A little escape

Make Old town your main stop. Leave room for a pause afterwards and only then decide whether to explore further.

With more time to spare

If you wish, add Turmhof to a visit to Old town. Check the connection between them and plan a longer break. These are flexible ideas, not a fixed circular route.

Plan your visit

Opening hours, admission, tours and timetables can change with the season. Check current details with the provider before visiting. If you need step-free access, suitable parking or other assistance, ask the destination directly.

Getting here

Choose your precise starting point and destination. Compare current train and bus connections with a road journey. Plan the final stage and your return too; boat services depend on the season.
