リガーツの滝・トップ6

Very pretty gorge to do with family, with friends. Accessible with an average physical level. So, nice little walk that could be followed by a navigation on Lake Bienne.

The Vaux stream is nestled among the trees of the Bernese Jura forest, and flows between Lignières and La Neuveville. From the Combe du Pilouvi trail, the view of the falls is breathtaking. It is a natural site full of magic, where witches once came to bathe in the sparkling water of the pools.

A magnificent trail winds through a bucolic landscape along the gorge. Numerous walkways and galleries carved into the cliffs offer breathtaking views of waterfalls and pools. There is an entrance fee to the gorge (CHF 2 per adult and CHF 1 per child), and the trail is closed during the winter until Easter.

A nice walk to take on a Sunday morning before the lakeside restaurant. Top !

The Pilouvi Gorge is an enchanting place with several waterfalls cascading into natural pools. It is said that witches used to bathe there. The Ruisseau de Vaux stream flows from Lignières to the medieval town of La Neuveville. This small valley has its own history: first as a retreat for a devout hermit and later as a meeting place for Satanists. The hike through the Combe du Pilouvi begins in a peaceful forest setting with a slight climb and at the entrance to the Combe the Vaux stream cascades down through beautiful gorges. From the path, the view of the waterfalls is simply indescribable. The Ruisseau de Vaux - or Ruz de Vaux - is a four-kilometer-long stream in the Neuchâtel and Bernese Jura and forms part of the border between the cantons of Neuchâtel and Bern. The name of the water refers to the settlement of Vaux on the lower reaches of the stream. The hike through the Combe de Pilouvi gorge created by this river is one of the scenic attractions of the Lake Biel region.

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.

The Pilouvi is worth seeing, see earlier reports from me. Finally, the pool with the waterfall. Accessible on foot from several sides, many steps, sloping, but not a problem if you are sure-footed and wear good shoes. In the summer very refreshing water dust cloud with the right wind :-)

... and another highlight too, because the nature and atmosphere in the Twannbach Gorge are fantastically beautiful ... ;-)
