Where did “Lenk” get its name?
Lenk is composed of two German words that mean “long nook”, and that’s exactly the shape and function the town has at the top of the long, Simme River valley. Nestled up against the might of the Wilstrubel’s steep face, the locals simply state that they are “in the nook” (an der Lenk)!
