Taubenloch, Canyon in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland
The Taubenloch canyon extends for 2 kilometers between Frinvillier and Bözingen, with the Suze river flowing through steep limestone cliffs.
Since 1532, this gorge served as one of the few natural passages between the Swiss Plateau and Jura mountains, connecting Roman roads from Aventicum to Germania.
The name originates from multiple interpretations, including a legend about a young woman nicknamed 'die Taube' who met her fate in the gorge.
The canyon features maintained hiking paths established in 1889 by La société d'exploitation des gorges du Taubenloch, with access points at both ends.
The gorge reaches an elevation of 448 meters and contains diverse geological formations created by the continuous flow of the Suze river.
