Steffisburg

The landscape around Steffisburg is shaped by the Zulg valley and the Bernese foothills above Lake Thun, conditions that have influenced both the settlement pattern and local economy. Directly northeast of Thun, the municipality marks the transition from the Aare valley to rising ground toward the Bernese Oberland. The Zulg runs through Steffisburg before joining the Aare in nearby Thun, linking the town to one of Switzerland’s principal river corridors. In the historic centre, the Höchhus stands as a notable medieval secular building and recalls the area’s long-settled character. Steffisburg helps reveal where the compact Thun urban area gives way to more rural terrain.
