The Tschentebach is a 5 km long left tributary of the Engstlige in the Swiss canton of Bern . It drains the eastern slopes of the Gsür and the southern slopes of the Bodezehore in the Bernese Prealps and belongs to the catchment area of the Rhine .
The source area of the Tschentebach is around 2000 m above sea level. M. in the foothills of the Alps. The water flow is heavily dependent on the weather. During thunderstorms, the stream can swell rapidly in a short time.

The gorge is approx. 100 meters long and offers imposing waterfalls, water mills and cut rocks. Bridges and stairs make it possible to walk through the gorge.
