Whether on a circular trail, mountain tour or climbing route, from a bus or cable car cabin, this majestic natural wonder is waiting to be discovered.

THE SOURCE OF THE SIMME
Siebe Brünne
Siebe Brünne – seven springs – is the source of the River Simme and gives the valley its name. Here the water gushes out of a mighty limestone wall in seven places to form a majestic waterfall. Sibe Brünne is a designated ‘Kraftort’ – a place with special energy – and a wonderful place to linger.
The Sibe Brünne waterfall is at the very end of the valley, five kilometres beyond the village of Lenk.
