Tips

November 1, 2023

Hiking

There is a gem in Lake Biel: St. Peter's Island. Due to the lowering of the lake level as a result of the Jura water correction, a land bridge was created between the Jolimont near Erlach and the island: the Heidenweg, a moorland landscape of national importance. Surrounded by reeds and bushes, it now offers the opportunity to reach the island by land. This habitat of numerous birds is protected along with the island's forests. The island can also be easily reached by water.
