Simme
The river Simme is a tributary of the river Kander in the Bernese Oberland in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is approximately long and has a catchment area of . The river Simme begins at the Alpine lake of "Flueseeli" (lit.: "Little Lake of the Flue") () on the secluded Alpine meadow just above the "Flueschafberg" cliffs. But right afterwards, one level and lower, below the Flueschafberg cliffs, on the Alpine meadow called "Rezliberg", it converges with several creeks which have even higher springs, such as the Truebbach, the "Rezligletscherbach", and the "Ammertenbach". This area is located west of  the mountain range Wildstrubel, and to the north of and below the Glacier de la Plaine Morte (), and about south of the resort of Lenk. Underneath the Rezliberg it forms the "Simmenfälle", several waterfalls, which have, altogether, a drop of . The river then flows roughly to the north and passes Lenk and flows towards Zweisimmen through the Obersimmental (Upper Simme Valley), where it converges with the "Kleine Simme" from the west, which origines in the mountains above Saanenmöser. Saanenmöser is also a small pass towards Saanen and Gstaad. From Zweisimmen the Simme flows further north until "Riedenbach" where it smoothly  turns east and runs now through the Niedersimmental (Lower Simme Valley). In Oey it converges with the "Chirel" of the Diemtigtal from the south. After the village of Wimmis and southwest of Spiez, the Simme turns north again and joins the river Kander, which reaches the Lake Thun after ).
