Geography
The Oberland consists of the upper Aare valley with the Hasli, Lütschinen, Kander, Simmen and Saane side valleys as well as the valleys around Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. It is separated from the Bernese Unterland by several pre-Alpine mountain chains including the Stockhorn, Sigriswiler Rothorn, Hohgant and Brienzer Rothorn.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
