Lenk - In the power of water

The hike begins in Lenk.
The village of Lenk lies at the top of the Simmental in the Bernese Oberland, in the wide, flat valley floor in front of a beautifull valley head in the Alps, the Wildstrubel.

A short bus ride takes us to Simmen Falls.
The magnicifant Simmen Falls present themselves after just a few meters. Following the river Simme, you experience the power of water again and again.

The source of the Simme lies at Alp Rezliberg. Visible with the seven fountains. The "Sibe Brünne", a magical waterfall, is a confirmed source of power and a wonderful place to linger.

A further ascent leads to Langermatte before the descent along the Iffigbach begins.

The unspoilt natural stream with its gorge-like sections leads to the magnificent Iffigenalp waterfall. Mighty and powerfull, it thunders down over the rocks.
The route continues through meadows to the "Lenkersee" and through the village back to the railway station.
