The heart of a region that effortlessly combines relaxation and discovery. This is where tranquility and activity, nature and enjoyment come together.
Between water, wine, and wide open spaces
Lake Biel is the heart of the Seeland region – a place where water, vineyards, and wide open spaces meet. Enjoy a leisurely swim at the lidos, sunbathe on the well-tended lawns, or take a dip from the jetty: this is where the day by the water begins. The public bathing centers around Biel, Nidau, and Twann offer everything you need for a relaxing summer's day – from a peaceful morning swim to an aperitif with a view of the lake.
Discover the region by boat
If you want to experience Lake Biel from the water, hop aboard a scheduled boat service. The shipping line connects Biel, Twann, Erlach, and St. Petersinsel, passing vineyards, small harbors, and reed-covered shores. A trip across the lake is not just an excursion, but a mini journey through the Seeland region—peaceful, scenic, and unmistakably regional.
