The Geroldsbach is a tributary of the Inn from the Stubai Alps near Innsbruck .

Run and landscape

The Geroldsbach rises south of Götzens at 1,920 meters above sea level near the Birgitzköpfl . It is made up of five fan-shaped spring rivers. First it flows in a northerly direction through the place. There it changes direction and passes the district of Neu-Götzens to the northeast and continues over the Wiltenberg to Innsbruck-Wilten and flows into the Inn at Sieglanger . The stream has a length of 9.4 kilometers.

The lower course of the Geroldsbach on the municipal boundary between Innsbruck and Völs was also called Hölltal and is attested as "Helletal" in documents from Wilten Abbey as early as 1140 .

Water and development

The water supplies four reservoirs in the Götzens region and two in Wilten with drinking water, which is mainly used for the Innsbruck and Sieglanger JVA . As a result, the underflow has a little less water; it retains water quality class  I throughout its course .

During floods or heavy rain, the brook proved to be a danger several times, so that it had to be straightened in places in the local area.

The furthest valley is now accessible through the cross-country skiing area between Axamer Lizum and Mutterer Alm .
