The hiking tour from Magglingen across Mt. Twannberg down to Twann is a "classic-" - the most popular tour of Lake Biel. The beautiful views of Twannberg mountain contrast strikingly with the deep Twannbach ravine. The views of the lake and Petersinsel island round off the tour, cementing its effect as a unique hiking experience. A subsequent stroll through the center of Twann, which is well worth seeing, is followed by a bonus - a comfortable cruise on a ship back to Biel.
A tip for this hiking tour during the colder months: in the winter it is customary to eat Treber sausages in the wine village . This saucisson, cooked in the distillery during the distillation of the finest grape marc, is a traditional insider tip of the Lake Biel region. Served with potato salad, potato gratin or simply with bread, it is a unique delicacy and its consumption has become an extroardinary and cheerful social occasion at Lake Biel. Of course, it should be accompanied by a glass of local wine!
