Who doesn't know "the Ligerz Church"? After a stroll through the vineyards, visitors arrive at the late Gothic building and realize it's a church the size of Biel's city church. How did a community like Ligerz come to have such a large church? In 1417, the inhabitants of Schafis, Ligerz, and Kleintwann were granted permission to build their own chapel. In 1482, the small church was replaced by a large pilgrimage church, which, endowed with relics from Rome and a special indulgence granted by 15 cardinals, became a major attraction for the faithful. Between 1961 and 1972, the entire church was restored in several phases. Even today, the Ligerz Church remains a popular wedding venue.

I was only looking at the lake here; from this spot you can go into the city center.

The storm and hurricane-force winds last Sunday (June 15, 2025) left substantial damage on the trail. Trees were torn down and piled up. It will likely take several weeks until the trail is cleared again.

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.

Maya and Markus Hirt's wine cellar serves flambéed spent grain sausage with very fine potato salad upon registration. Enjoy the wine from our own vineyard. Wonderful!
