Erlach
Situated on the western shore of Lake Biel, Erlach is one of the most beautiful places on Lake Biel with its picturesque lanes, squares and majestic castle.
The castle perched high above the town of Erlach is one of the oldest ones in the Canton of Bern and, together with the chruch and town hall, creates an other-worldly ambience in this quaint town. Erlach lies at the western end of Lake Biel and is an ideal starting point for visits to St. Peter's Island.
