After a challenging climb, your efforts will be rewarded with a magnificient view of Lake Biel, the Seeland and the Bernese Alps.

A walk up to Bözingenberg in Biel’s backyard offers many highlights. At first, the path leads through the rugged Taubenloch Gorge, past the animal park, which is home to many native animals. From there the steep trail climbs up to the highest point of Bözingenberg. The views across the city of Biel, the Three-Lakes Region and all the way to the peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in the Bernese Oberland are nothing short of spectacular.
