The Gschlößbach is a glacier creek in the Hohe Tauern in East Tyrol . The stream, which runs in a west-east direction, arises from the confluence of the Vilhaben and Schlatenbach rivers and drains a large part of the eastern Venediger group . Both source streams are fed by glaciers, the Vilhabenke and Schlatenkees . At an altitude of 1730 the Schlatenbach, which flows a little further south, flows into the Vilhabenbach, at this point the Gschlößtal and the actual Gschlößbach begin . Between Außergschlöß and Wolgemuthalm, 1.5 km northwest of Matreier Tauernhaus , m at a height of 1670, the Gschlößbach flows into the in Tauerntal springing Tauernbach . The Gschlößbach is actually the larger of the two streams at its mouth.

Vilhabenbach

At an altitude of 2245 m, the Vilhabenbach emerges from the glacier gate of the Vilhabenkees . A strong attachment leading escarpment where the water over large blocks and pending rock flows (Megalithal) the stream enters a shallower valley, in which the stream branches on a short section and where characteristic glacial stream alluvione are formed. In contrast to the stretch of water after the confluence of the Schlatenbach, the Vilhabenbach is not influenced by regulatory measures.

Schlatenbach

The Schlatenbach also flows after exiting the impressive glacier gate of the Schlatenkees at an altitude of 2160 m through a medium-steep relocation route surrounded by scree slopes . The Schlatenbach then reaches the valley floor of the Gschlößtal via a waterfall that extends for about 300 meters, where it flows into the Vilhabenbach at an altitude of 1730 m and contributes a considerable part to its drainage. The catchment area of ​​the Schlatenbach is 16.07 km², 56% of which is glaciated.

Gschlößbach

At the mouth of the Schlatenbach, the Gschlößbach is interrupted in its continuity by artificial structures that serve to retain debris. The further stretch of the river to Aussergschlöß is characterized by a slight gradient and pastureland. This area is regulated to protect the pastures and the forest road that runs along the stream. The average gradient in this area is 7.9%.
