House of the Tête de Moine

Highlight • Historical Site

The Maison de la Tête de Moine is a historic annex of the Bellelay Abbey, with a history dating back 800 years. Some background knowledge about the cheese tradition is imparted on site, but the sculpture park is also absolutely worth seeing.

View of Lake Biel

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Lake Biel to Lake Neuchatel the road is slightly higher than the valley floor. This enables magnificent views in the direction of travel and over the lakes towards Central Switzerland. This is so beautiful

Ligerz village center and church

Highlight • Settlement

The municipality of Ligerz, which seems to owe its name to a Roman named Ligerius, is one of the smallest municipalities in the canton of Bern.
From 1120 onwards, various vineyards and houses in the municipality were donated to monasteries. At the end of the 15th century, the municipality of Ligerz, including Twann and the Tessenberg, was acquired by Bern and incorporated into the Nidau bailiwick. The municipality of Ligerz still belongs to the Nidau administrative district today. During the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century, Ligerz was French territory for a short time.

La Neuveville

Highlight • Settlement

A walk through the cobbled streets of the old town is highly recommended.
La Neuveville was founded in 1312 by Prince-Bishop Gérard de Vuippens in Basel as a new town near the border with the county of Neuchâtel to take in refugees from La Bonneville in the Val de Ruz, which had been destroyed by Rudolf IV shortly before. That is why La Neuveville was called La Bonneville in the beginning.
