The Höttinger Bach originates on 1100 metres above sea level below the "Umbrückler" alp and runs straight in southern direction to the city district "Mariahilf" where it merges with the "Inn River". In the course of years it created a small ravine called "Höttinger ditch". The overground part is visible until "Kirschentalgasse". The Creek lies in full on Innsbruck city area and has a length of approximately 8.75 kilometres.

Near its origin the city erected a drinking water reservoir, which mainly supplies the "Hungerburg" - region additionally. Its excellent A grade quality is kept by the creek in the whole course.

The small creek may look like a harmless water but can quickly get flooded due to high water or strong rain. Hötting had to suffer from this already several times.
