Höttinger Bach

The Höttinger Bach is a river of Tyrol, Austria. It is a 4 km long left tributary of the Inn in Innsbruck and its entire length lies in the Innsbruck city area.

The Höttinger Bach originates on below the Umbrückler Alm and  runs straight in southern direction to the city district Mariahilf where it merges with theInn. In the course of time it created a small ravine called Höttinger Graben. The overground part is visible until the street Kirschentalgasse.

Near its origin the city erected a drinking water reservoir, which mainly supplies the Hungerburg region additionally. Its excellent A grade quality is kept by the river in the whole course.

The small river may look like a harmless water but can quickly get flooded due to high water or strong rain. Hötting had to suffer from this already several times.
