Natural beach in the Stetten part of the shores of Lake Constance

Stetten is located on the north shore of Lake Constance , about two kilometers northeast of Meersburg . The Stettener district borders south between Meersburg-Haltnau and Hagnau over a length of 1100 meters directly on the shore of Lake Constance. This section of the bank is freely accessible, natural with the typical round pebbles and the steep drop from shallow to deep water ("rocks"). In the Stetten area, a narrow strip of bushes and old trees continuously separates the beach and the Meersburg – Stetten – Hagnau riverside path. The area rising north from the shores of Lake Constance to the town of Stetten is planted with vines.

Stetten is still dominated by fruit and wine growing , resulting in several smaller distilleries for the production of local fires , spirits and liqueurs established. Increasingly during the harvest season, products can be purchased directly from the producer in farm shops or street stalls. The Aufricht winery is located in the Stetten area on the Meersburg – Hagnau Höhenweg and received the excellent award of three grapes from the Gault-Millau wine guide . Closer to Hagnau, on the Höhenweg, is Thomas Pfisterer's Auhof, who cultivates fruit and wine according to Demeter guidelines. Tourism also plays an important role, especially in the summer months . Furthermore, freelancers and service providers have chosen Stetten as their location and place of residence.

Stetten is on the federal highway 31 between Meersburg and Hagnau . The federal highway 33 cuts the place in two halves.

In connection with efforts to establish a bypass road in the B31-10G-BW project, several options are controversially discussed with neighboring communities.

The community belongs to the Bodensee-Oberschwaben Verkehrsverbund ( bodo ) and is connected to the nearby cities by several bus routes.
