Hiking

Cheerfully rippling water, impressive rock formations, and adventurous bridges in a gorge – this is the perfect hike for your magical adventure. The route runs along the Schüss River through the Taubenloch Gorge on a well-maintained path. However, you should be careful of slippery surfaces in wet weather.

You start in the center of town and are soon surrounded by wild nature. Nevertheless, the route also offers cultural history, as the historic hydroelectric power station gives you an idea of the importance of water for industry in the area. For example, hydropower was used hundreds of years ago to power the region's power brokers. If you're traveling with the family, little hikers will enjoy the riddles posed by Moritz the squirrel. And if you've brought something to grill, you can use the barbecue pits along the trail for a rest in the open air. At the end, the R41 takes you back to Biel in just a few minutes.
