Biel Nidau: from Biel train station direction Nidau/Ins. In
Nidau turn right just after the furniture shop Brechbühl Interieur in the
Balainenweg, follow to the next main street, turn left into the main street
and immediately right again (just before the bridge). Go to the end of the
street and park there. Get equipped there and walk further on the small
path. The entry is on right hand side of the place with benches. |

stones and concrete).
Bottom: the sides of the canal are made of stones and concrete, the
bottom is sand, rocks and mud.
Suggested tour: at the entry point in the middle of the canal there
is a hole down to abut 10 to 15m. Visit first this part (stay close to the
bottom) and then let yourself being push out of it by the current. And let
it go. Depending of the current and your lamp's capacity, you can let
yourself go for 20 to 40 minutes. It is recommended to go out before the
second bridge (check the lights). Always exist on the right hand side of the
canal (same as entry). Be careful of the boat at anchor, protect your head.
