A visually appealing hydroelectric power plant. It's especially beautiful to admire the natural beauty along the river that flows into the lake. There's a nice little restaurant at the top.

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.

Located directly on the lake, the small restaurant Le Cruchon invites you to stop off. From June to August the restaurant is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., during the other months from Wednesday to Sunday.
