The Beerentalbach is a one and a half kilometers long, right tributary of the Töss in the Swiss canton of Zurich . The stream rises south of the Weierhöhe settlement , flows through the Sennhof district and flows into the Töss at its western end.

etymology

In 1569 the brook was mentioned as Beerennbächli. This designation lasted up to modern times, as Rutishauser also described the water as Beerennbächli. The stream flows through the Berry Valley, whether the stream takes its name from the valley itself, in which the corresponding berries were found, or whether it was derived from a corresponding bank planting, is questionable, although Rutishauser assumed the latter for "objective reasons".
