Niedermuhlern: Seitenberg
Seitenberg is best known within the Bernese Swiss Plateau for its working farmland. This small rural locality lies near Niedermuhlern, south of Bern, where cultivated fields and pasture are divided by woodland and scattered farm buildings. The Swiss Plateau forms the broad settled belt between the Jura and the Alps, and Seitenberg has the agricultural character typical of its Bernese section. Niedermuhlern was an independent municipality until it became part of the municipality of Wald in 2004. The area belongs to the wider Gantrisch countryside, between Bern’s urban fringe and the pre-Alpine uplands.

Built around the Aare River and routes across the Swiss Plateau, Bern grew into a canton connecting the federal capital with the Bernese Oberland. Its territory extends from Jura foothills and farmland through the Aare valley to the high Alps around the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The city of Bern, Switzerland’s federal capital, preserves an Old Town inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, while Thun and Interlaken lead towards Lakes Thun and Brienz. Urban institutions, dairy farming and established alpine resorts give the canton a notably broad Swiss character.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
