Since the lowering of the water level by two meters, St. Peter's Island is actually no longer an island. Today one can reach the popular island on Lake Biel not only by boat, but from Erlach also by foot or bicycle. The land connection offers shelter for protected animals and plants. The island is 4.7km long and maximal 750m wide.
The monastery that was founded on the island in 1127 is no longer in existence. Instead, the historic walls harbor an award-winning hotel and restaurant. What remains to this day is the charm of St. Peter's Island, which enchanted famous personalities such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Part of its charm is the medieval character of the little town of Erlach and this island's own often quickly sold out wine.
