Hiking

The Kander used to flow into the Aare near Uttigen and caused frequent flooding. Since the Kander breakthrough in 1714, it has flowed into Lake Thun and caused floods there, which have now been largely limited by technical measures. These changes in water flow not only reduced flooding along the Aare, but reduced the swamp areas that were once breeding grounds for the malaria-carrying mosquitoes, thereby contributing to the elimination of malaria in the region. The course of the A6 motorway partly follows the former river route of the Kander.
