Steckborn is situated in the canton of Thurgau right on Lake Constance, part of the larger Bodensee. The charming town features a historic old town with well-preserved half-timbered houses and narrow alleys. Its landmark is the Turmhof, a medieval defensive tower, now hosting a museum. Along the lakeshore, there is a lovely promenade offering views of Reichenau Island. Steckborn is popular for water sports and cycling paths, especially along the lake. The region is agricultural, known for fruit orchards and vineyards.
