The Glütschbach is a 26 km long left tributary of the Aare and left tributary of the Kander in the Bernese Oberland , which emerges from the confluence of several torrents on the northern flank of the Stockhorn chain .

geography

course

Feusibach
The Feusibach (also spelled Feissibach ) rises at approx. 1700 m. ü. M. on the north flank of the Stockhorn chain . It flows through the Bachalp and then through a gorge down into the Stockental . Below Niederstocken it takes up the Lubbach , shortly afterwards the torrent from the Lindental. After the union of the Feusibach with the Fluhbach coming from the Stockenfluh in the area of ​​the municipality Reutigen , the watercourse becomes the Glütschbach.

Glütschbach
After the confluence, the Glütschbach flows through the Reutigenmoos and turns north towards the hamlet of Glütsch, which belongs to Zwieselberg . It flows past the Kander piercing , where part of its water can be directed into the Kander, and then follows the former Kandertal between Zwieselberg and the Strättlighügel . At Allmendingen the Glütschbach flows onto the Thuner Allmend , then through Thierachern and Uetendorf .

South of Uttigen it is crossed from left to right by the Amletenbach coming from the Amsoldingersee . After the intersection, the Amletenbach bears the name Giesse for some .

The Glütschbach then flows from the left with the Giesse coming from the right. The united waters are called Giesse by some .

Different names of the waters at the mouth

  1. At swisstopo on the map, the water is named Amletenbach ,
  2. at the Geoportal Kanton Bern it bears the name Giesse ,
  3. and at the Federal Office for the Environment FOEN , the entire body of water is called Glütschbach .

The river finally flows into Uttigen at an altitude of about 544  m above sea level. M. from the left into the Aare.

The longer Glütschbach has the larger intake system and is richer in water. It is thus the main hydrological branch of the Glütschbach river system .

Catchment area

The 54.99 km² catchment area of ​​the Glütschbach lies in the Swiss plateau and is drained to the North Sea via the Aare and the Rhine .

It consists of 25.5% wooded area , 61.6% agricultural area , 7.9% settlement area , 1.2% water area and 3.9% unproductive areas.

The mean height of the catchment area is 755  m above sea level. M. , the minimum height is 538  m above sea level. M. and the maximum height at 2187  m above sea level. M.

Correction and renaturation

Before the Kander correction in 1713, the Glütschbach flowed into the Kander near Zwieselberg. After the breakthrough, this estuary was initially retained so that the water of the Glütschbach was directed into the Kander and from there through the Kander Gorge directly into Lake Thun . However, this resulted in problems for the communities of Allmendingen, Thierachern, Uetendorf and Uttigen, which were located on the Kander river before the correction, as they subsequently had to struggle with a lack of water. This was counteracted from 1714 by the diversion of the Glütschbach into the former Kandertal.

In 2010 the course of the Glütschbach in Uetendorf was renatured over a distance of 250 meters . The costs were estimated at 490,000 Swiss francs .
