View of the Nidau-Büren Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Ship Lock at the Port Regulating Weir

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.

Restored area for waterfowl

Highlight • Natural

At this point there is an area of land that is reserved exclusively for waterfowl. The section of the renatured Aare is also a flood retention basin. At the same time there is a kind of ponds where frogs and toads can spawn. Here you can see many different animals. They differ depending on the season. Since the beach in Biel is also used by migrating birds, you can also observe alien species here.
