The Twannbach Gorge leads from Lamboing to Twann and owes its name to the Twannbach, which flows through this unique gorge landscape. Well-marked hiking trails lead from Magglingen over the Twannberg and from Prêles through flowering meadows and shady forests down into the gorge, which was opened up in 1892.

This wild, romantic gorge is particularly popular in the hot summer months; the temperatures are pleasant and the high rocks and trees provide shade. In spring, when the Twannbach carries a lot of water, the waterfalls are particularly impressive.

At the end of the gorge it suddenly becomes quieter and hikers are treated to a breathtaking view of the wine-growing village of Twann, Lake Biel, the picturesque St. Peter's Island and the snow-capped Alps in the distance.

At the upper entrance to the gorge there is a glass studio with a bistro. In Twann, numerous terraces with culinary specialties and wines from the region await hungry hikers.

To walk the trail safely, wear good shoes and be careful in wet, slippery areas. The trail must not be left in the nature reserve.
