Ship Lock at the Port Regulating Weir

Highlight • Structure

Interesting for people who have never seen how a lock works. Here you can see it up close. Above the lock you can cross the Aare.

Moosbrüggli

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Here you can cross the Aare by bike in a relaxed manner and without cars. All other bridges in the area are heavily used.

The Dr. Schneider Bridge is the first bridge on the Nidau-Büren Canal. It is named after Dr. Johann Rudolf Schneider, who campaigned for the correction of the Jura waters. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the beginning of the canal further ahead on Lake Biel.

Lake Biel

Highlight • Lake

Biel is not only beautifully situated on the lake, it is also one of the most important watch cities in the world. So it's no wonder that a large sundial has been set up at the harbor, with the shadow of which you can read the current time on the promenade at the boat jetties. You can recognize it by a small ball on its tip. Otherwise it looks rather simple and resembles a lamppost.

View of Lake Biel from Tessenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lake Biel has something to offer all year round. Of course, you think first of summer and perhaps autumn in the vineyards, but even in winter a tour through the vineyards on the western shore of the lake has a very special charm.
On a tour in late autumn or during the cold season, you will hardly meet anyone, which is all the more impressive when you pedal and take in the scenery from the calm lake below you.

Aare-Beizli Orpund

Highlight • Cafe

The Aare-Beizli in Orpund is a good place for a bike break. However, it's worth checking the opening hours and what's on offer beforehand. There are regular events and culinary specials here. On Whit Monday 2025, these were strawberry waffles. Otherwise, there are Zahnderknusperli (sweet toothpaste) and hamburgers. And plenty of aperitif drinks. A lot of effort has gone into making the grounds beautiful, making the terrace a very pleasant place to sit.
