Wendelsee
The Wendelsee was a lake between the present-day towns of Meiringen and Uttigen in Switzerland . It was created by the retreat of the Aare Glacier after the last ice age around 10,000 years ago and the Aare flowed through it. Due to the accumulation of debris from the Lütschine and the Lombach , the Bödeli was created roughly in the middle . The complete separation into two lakes, the Brienzersee and the Thunersee , is verifiably completed around the year 1000, but it was probably complete earlier.
The lower, north-western part of the lake between Thun and Uttigen was filled in by Kander and Zulg . The Kander originally flowed into the lake between Thierachern and the Allmendingen district of Thun, and then at Uetendorf as it silted up .
