September 4, 2022,Naturschutzgebiet Leugene-Bielersee Barkenhafen-Aarekanal, ab Bettlach, 😎 gemütliche Apéro Runde 🍹

Comfortable e-bike tour to Lake Biel and back.

Today we wanted to have an aperitif in the Barkenhafen on Lake Biel. The weather was perfect for a leisurely family outing.

The outward journey from Bettlach first leads through the town of Grenchen and then more or less follows the signposted cycle path to Biel. The "most important" deviation is along …

Scenic e-bike ventilation round to Lake Biel and back. Goal: Stay dry between rain showers.

The view out of the window doesn't really motivate you to do outdoor sports. Nevertheless, I had the urge to move and wanted to get out into the fresh air. Well, there was a rain break that I was able to use. Not muddy trails, …

April 3, 2022,Naturschutzgebiet Leugene-Strandboden Biel-Zihl Kanal-Aare Kanal, ab Bettlach, ❄ kühle Auslüftungs-Runde ☁

Beautiful scenic e-bike tour to air out in fairly cool temperatures.

Just a few days ago we were spoiled with the best weather. April has now lived up to its name and brought snow down to the lowlands. And with it temperatures just above freezing. There is no such thing as bad weather for bikers, only bad clothing. So there …

July 14, 2024,Aare Kanal-Barkenhafen Nidau-Strandboden Biel-NSG Leugene, ab Bettlach, 🍹 gemütliche schöne Apéro-Runde, Sonne geniessen

Comfortable and scenic e-bike ride to Lake Biel and back. With the aim of enjoying an aperitif in the sun. Or rather, enjoying the sun with an aperitif. Or something like that :-)

The (one almost has to say exceptionally) beautiful weather simply encourages you to soak up some vitamin D. So we cycled towards Lake Biel. Along the Aare …

December 5, 2021,Naturschutzgebiet Leugene-Strandboden Biel-Zihl Kanal-Aare Kanal, ab Bettlach, ☔ Auslüftungs-Runde 😃

E-bike Sunday ventilation circuit to Lake Biel and back.

Today it was mostly rainy, but in the afternoon there were snowflakes. Now or never was "hot". I had decided on "now". But below the clouds that covered the Jura. I didn't feel like cycling in there.

So I "tackled" Lake Biel. The first kilometers on asphalt, then on dirt roads.

Nice e-bike Christmas ride.

The idea was to stretch my legs a bit before Christmas with the extended family. Finally, the sun came out a bit.

So I cycled along the Aare to Nidau. First on asphalt to check whether the dirt roads were still covered in snow. They weren't, so I was able to take the return route via …

Leisurely E-Bike Tour with Aperitif Enjoyment

This tour is one of our UHU classics – a tour we enjoy again and again.

The outward journey is pleasantly away from traffic, following the course of the Aare. Near Port, however, you currently encounter a construction site, for which unfortunately no detour is signposted. There's a stair tower for pedestrians, but no …

Scenic e-bike ventilation round to Lake Biel and back. Goal: Post-Covid fitness check.

Well, it is not a question of if, but when you will be infected with Covid 19. The positive decision came out of the blue. Well, not quite; After all, I had mild symptoms and therefore had myself tested.
