The Gleirschbach is a tributary of the Isar in the Karwendel .

In total, the stream is approx. 12 km long, 7.4 km of which is in the urban area of Innsbruck , the rest is in the Scharnitz municipality.

The Gleirschbach rises north of the Pfeishütte at 1880  m above sea level. A. First, it flows west through between the northern chain and Gleirsch-Halltal chain lying Samertal . On the last section it sits for 2 kilometers and only rises again at the Amtssäge ( 1223  m above sea level ) in the Gleirschtal . This damp area gives the Möslalm its name. Shortly below Versitzung, at Marterl, the 1.4 km long Angerbach, which rises in the Mandl Valley on the north side of the Nordkette, also flows into it.

From the Möslalm, where the stream changes to the Scharnitz area, the course turns to the northwest. Directly below the official saw, it joins the Kristenbach coming from the Großkristental valley . From here, the Gleirschbach flows in a north-westerly direction through the Gleirschtal, after crossing the Gleirschklamm it flows a few kilometers east of Scharnitz into the Isar, which comes from the Hinterautal .

Already in the 16th century the Trift of wood felled in the side valleys of the Gleirschtal through the Gleirschklamm was mentioned in a document, which was finally closed around 1960 after the construction of a forest road through the Gleirschtal.
