A beautiful, easy hike in the Jura Mountains with lovely views.

The Taubenloch Gorge, stretching for almost 3 km, is a romantic gorge with steep rock faces, bridges, tunnels, and easily accessible paths. The Schüss River flows through the gorge. It originates in the St. Immertal valley and empties into Lake Biel.

The Bieler Taubenloch, which stretches for almost 3 km, is one of the most popular destinations in the region. The romantic surroundings and the pleasant freshness make crossing the footbridges and strolling past caves and overhanging rocks a pleasure.

Very beautiful gorge, easy to walk, with rest area, bridges, cave, rushing water, manageable gradient.

Imposing grotto and at the same time a place of pilgrimage. Here you should switch from the hiking trail near the bridge to the road and pause for a moment and enjoy the gentle coolness and refresh yourself with the water from the Karlsquelle (which is said to have healing powers). A small karst spring arises inside the cave. The water flows as a trickle from a stalagmite into a shallow basin. There is a crucifix under the entrance arch of the grotto, dedicated to Saint Columba of Sens, a 3rd century martyr. The place has been the destination of a pilgrimage on August 15th since the 13th century. The spring water is said to have miraculous healing powers.

Grotto in the rock with many thank you plaques.

Exceptional view of the Alps. The ridge is very impressive. Beware of those who are afraid of heights.
