The Kander is a river in Switzerland. It is 44 kilometres (27 mi) long and has a watershed of 1,126 square kilometres (435 sq mi). The Kander is a tributary of the Aare, the longest river to begin and end entirely in Switzerland. The Kander once flowed directly into the Aare, downstream from the city of Thun. However, since 1714 its confluence with the Aare is at Lake Thun, upstream from the city.
