Wine village Ligerz

Highlight • Settlement

With its church in the middle of the vineyard, its location directly opposite St. Peter's Island and the view of the Alps, Ligerz is in some respects a special feature. Ligerz has managed to maintain its character as a wine village on the lake

View of Ligerz Church

Highlight • Religious Site

If you want to add a "cultural" touch to this hike, we recommend taking the funicular from Ligerz to Prêles. This is where the Friedrich Dürrenmatt theme trail, which opened in 2021, begins. It leads past 13 stations down to Ligerz and guarantees super beautiful views. You also pass the church - of course.

Church Ligerz

Highlight • Religious Site

It is astonishing that the small community of Ligerz built such a large church. Apparently in 1417 the inhabitants of Schafis, Ligerz and Kleintwann were allowed to build their own chapel. However, in 1482 a large pilgrimage church was built, which was equipped with relics from Rome to attract believers on pilgrimages. The old pilgrimage route through the vineyards also leads right past it. So there was already a business sense in the old days.

Entrance to the Twannbach Gorge

The Twannbach Gorge is one of the most beautiful in this region. The inspection costs CHF 2.00 and the proceeds are used to maintain the paths and protect this unique gorge.

Twann/Douanne

Highlight • Settlement

On the left bank of Lake Biel lies the historic winegrowing village of Twann. Viticulture has been practiced here since the 12th century, and fishing since the Neolithic period.

This charming winegrowing village is the perfect starting point for beautiful excursions. Winding lanes, old houses, and fountains characterize this idyllic village, giving it the feel of a medieval town.
