The Bözingenberg is the hill that is located at the exit of the Taubenloch Gorges on the left bank of the Suze. It is a continuation of the hill formed by the Prés de Macolin on the right bank. Its altitude is modest, but the views of the Swiss Plateau and the Alps are very beautiful.
We started that day from the Bienne train station and crossed the city along the Suze until we reached the Boujean district. There, a steep path leads to the zoo and then continues through the woods to the Bözingenberg restaurant. As the restaurant is accessible by car, the area is quite busy.
Beyond the restaurant, we continued along the crest to the Bergerie farm and then down to Romont. There, after walking along a stretch of road, we crossed the woods to reach Granges through the residential neighborhoods.
From the restaurant, we followed the ridge of the hill. It might be more interesting to follow the path along the hillside to reach the Bergerie directly. This would give a better view.
