The Reinbach (also Reiner Bach ) is a left tributary of the Ahr in South Tyrol , Italy . It rises in the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park above Rein in Taufers and flows through the Rein valley and the Tobel Gorge with the Reinbach Falls . It flows into the Ahr at Sand in Taufers and drains further via Rienz , Eisack and Etsch into the Adriatic Sea .

The Reinbach is best known for its spectacular three waterfalls in the Winkel (Kematen) district of Sand in Taufers. The upper and middle Reinbach falls are around 50 m high, the lower around 10 to 15 m. The lower step is located under a mighty rock head rising to the north, which is sometimes referred to by the locals as "Christ's head" due to its anthropomorphic shape .

While the lower two cases are of natural origin, the upper case level is the result of a partial derivation of the Reinbach to generate electricity (Toblwerk).

The three waterfalls are accessible via a hiking trail, which can either be climbed from Winkel or descended from the ravine. In 1985 there is a church dedicated to St. Station path dedicated to Francis was built, which ends in the former castle chapel on the so-called Kofel above the ravine.
