This is not a sun depicted on the flag of Lenk but a half circle from which flow 7 sources (the 7 sources of the river Simme). In the lower part we have a distaff (in German "Kunkel" or "Spindel") and a sword (in German "Schwert") which allude to the fight of the women of Lenk against the foreign invaders.
