history
After the ice sheet thawed in the Frankfurt stage of the Vistula Ice Age, the lake was created from a large field of dead ice, which was buried by sand sands from the inland ice advancing again in the Pomeranian stage. With the subsequent warming, the spilled dead ice also thawed. At these points, a depression formed on the sand surface that forms today's lake.
