Rondchâtel Pulp Mill
Highlight • Monument
The special prize from the expert commission for monument preservation recognizes the commitment of all those involved in the preservation and continued use of the former pulp factory in Péry-Rondchâtel in the Bernese Jura. This made it possible to preserve an industrial monument and put it to new use. Electricity is now produced at the site in the Schüss valley.

Schüss Waterfall in Biel/Bienne
Highlight • Waterfall
Schüss near Reuchenette, around 1867
Here the Schüss breaks through to the south in a classic Jura gorge. Shortly before it emerges into the Mittelland, it forms the Taubenlochschlucht. The hiking trail through the gorge has had to be closed several times due to the risk of rockfalls.
The Schüss then flows through Biel/Bienne, where its hydropower was used intensively in the age of industrialization. In Biel the Schüss divides into two natural and one artificial branch. The southern branch – the Madretschschüss – flows directly into the Zihl, the northern branch – the Bielschüss – first passes under the old town, then joins the artificially created Schüss canal and finally flows into Lake Biel at an altitude of 429 m above sea level.
