The jewel of the old town is where the Romans worshipped the God ‘Benelus’ for many centuries. Incidentally, Biel/Bienne owes its name to this Roman deity. Around here the numerous small restaurants invite you to linger. Along the Museum Mile we walked towards the lake, the sun glistens on the water and we looked forward to a pedalo ride." Ring, Bienne (Tourismus Biel Seeland | Stefan Weber) 465.4912109375 Taubenloch gorge According to legend, the young miller of Bözingen once loved a girl so beautiful and lovely that everyone called her the little turtledove (La petite Colombe). The cruel knight Ingelram of Rondchâtel Castle was aware of the girl's beauty and he had his eye on her as well. The day the miller wanted to marry the girl, the knight attacked the wedding party and killed the groom. Thereupon the girl threw herself into the gorge to avoid falling into the hands of the knight. In her honour, the gorge was henceforth called Taubenloch or Gorges de la petite Colombe. Even those who have never heard of the legend can feel the mystical atmosphere that prevails in this gorge. You can reach the animal park via a small bridge and extend the hike up to Biel's local mountain, the Bözingenberg, where a breathtaking view over the Three Lakes region and the Bernese Alps awaits you.
