It begins with melt from the Aare Glacier in Bern canton and flows north past Meiringen, through Aare Gorge, and into the glacial [[Lake Brienz]].  The river forms a canal as it enters Lake Thun, then forms an entrenched valley which circles the medieval region of [[Bern]].  It flows west into [[Lake Biel]] and northeast along the foot of the [[Jura Mountains]], and is joined by the [[Reuss]] and [[Limmat]] rivers before being tribute to the [[Rhine]].<ref>"Aare River".''The New Encyclopedia Britannica''.  15th ed., Vol. 1.</ref>
