Lenk im Simmental
Lenk im Simmental (or simply Lenk) is a municipality in the Obersimmental-Saanen administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.
History
Lenk is first mentioned in 1370 as An der Leng.
The oldest traces of a settlement in the area come from neolithic artifacts that have been found scattered around the municipality. During the Bronze Age Burgbühl and Bürstehubel were both fortified. Under the Romans the area was on along a major North-South road that passed over the Rawil and Kaltwasser Passes. They built a way station and a small shrine at the Iffigsee and a road and lime kiln at Iffigenalp. By the Middle Ages the Bronze Age fortifications were reoccupied and the area was split between the Herrschaft of Mannenberg and the estates of the Freiherr von Raron. The lands passed through several owners and by 1502 Bern ruled over the lands of the modern municipality. The municipality split from the neighboring St. Stephan in 1504-1505. In 1522 it achieved its sovereignty in the canton of Bern.

Only Young
by: Bowling For SoupNothing to do but sit around and make a mess with you.
Watching the world from your rooftop looking down.
We never care. Summertime and we ain't going anywhere.
No goodbyes...
We're only young, running wild.
Only young, get it right.
We've got all the time in the world tonight.
We're only young, you and I.
Only young, let it ride.
We're right here, the best night of our lives.
Let's go down in flames. Tomorrow's just a million miles away.
We got tonight, so let's tear this town apart.
We'll never change. We'll party like it's graduation day. No goodbyes. We'll stay right here, laugh till we cry.
We're only young, running wild.
Only young, get it right.
We've got all the time in the world tonight.
We're only young, you and I.
Only young, let it ride.
We're right here, the best night of our lives.
Tonight, tonight, we'll make some history.
Tonight, tonight, we'll burn some memories.
Tonight, tonight, legends never die.
Tonight, tonight, it's like a movie.
Tonight, tonight, the way it should be.
tonight, tonight, all we've got is time.
We're only young, and we don't care if we get old and lose our hair. Right now, the best night of our lives.
We're only young, running wild.
Only young, get it right.
We've got all the time in the world tonight.
We're only young, you and I.
Only young, let it ride.
We're right here, the best night of our lives.
