ディーススバッハベイビューレンの湖・トップ20

Lake Biel is worth one, no, many trips as a destination. A great lake with beautiful shores.

A nice place to stay and watch animals.

Beautiful park right on Lake Biel. Ideal as a sunbathing break after a hard day in the mountains around Lake Biel.

Since spring 2022, the area around Lake Lobsigen has been grazed by water buffalo. Water buffalo are calm, inquisitive animals and friendly towards humans. The water buffalo originally came from Asia, where they are still used for plowing rice fields and as beasts of burden. In Switzerland, buffalo are mainly kept for meat and milk production (including buffalo mozzarella).

nice atmosphere in the evening

Recreation area right on the lake, what more could you want😜😜

In summer it is difficult to identify the 'driveway' in the uppermost part of a freshly mown meadow. After a few meters along the edge of the forest, however, the trail increasingly peels out of the green. The trail can actually be 'speeded', with a very steep end.

The Huppenweiher pond has an interesting history. It is not actually natural, but rather arose from the mining pit where the so-called Huppererde was mined from the 17th century onwards. Huppererde is a white fireproof clay that was suitable as a melting pot and was used in furnace construction. At that time, most of the earth was exported to France, Germany and Genoa/Venice, where chimney stones were made to line fireboxes. These were used in blast furnaces, glass furnaces and cannon foundries, for example. The mining continued until the end of the 1940s.
