The Isentalerbach (sometimes also the Isitaler Bach ) is an approximately 13-kilometer-long tributary of Lake Lucerne in the Swiss canton of Uri in the Uri Alps . It flows through the Grosstal , which is called Isental after the confluence of the Chlital (occasionally also the Kleintal ) and drains an area of ​​around 60 square kilometers.

course

The Isentalerbach rises as an outflow of the Blüemlisalpfirn west of the Uri Rotstock near the Gitschenhörelihütte at about 2274  m above sea level. M. Even before the stream of the valley floor Grosstals in Hüttenegg reached, it takes more source streams from the Schlossfirn east of Engelberger Rotstock from the western slopes of Uri Rotstock and streaks as well as the eastern flanks of the Chaiserstuels and Ruchstocks on.

The stream then flows several kilometers in approximately a northerly direction and reaches St. Jakob where left the Sulztalerbach and Lauwelibach lead, and then describes an arc to the east until the village Isenthal reached. The longest tributary of the Isentalerbach flows here with the Chlitalerbach coming from the right . Immediately afterwards, the stream is dammed by a power station to form a small reservoir .

The stream then flows further east, flows through a steep ravine and flows into Lake Lucerne as a left tributary at Isleten in a small delta . The gravel delta is a popular place for swimming and windsurfing in summer .
