The Weißbach originates out of the "Lepisius" tunnel by the abandoned quarry of "Hötting" on 720 metres above Sea Level. It runs in southern direction by the "Englishman tomb" to the" Hoher Weg" where it merges near the old Hungerburgbahn – bridge with the Inn River. The Creek lies in full on the city area of Innsbruck.

Although the Creek is only 1.5 km long, it has an interesting point. The water falls down a height of 12 metres and forms the "Weißbach – fall". You can hear its noise and see it from the street. A small hotel constructed a power plant there and uses the gained electricity as home requirements. Around the basin are canals, which diverts the water in case of emergency.

Normally the water possesses Grade B quality. Another feature is the high water speed near the mouth (~120 km/h).
