The Gschnitzbach is a river of Tyrol, Austria.

The Gschnitzbach springs from the lake Lauterersee in the Stubai Alps.[1] It flows from South to North and merges with the Sill at Steinach am Brenner.[2] It has a length of about 20 kilometres (12 mi)[1] and passes through the villages of Trins and Gschnitz.[3]

The water quality of the Gschnitzbach is A grade and remains very clear until the mouth. It provides a good living space for fishes. The water is also used for drinking water supply for the villages nearby.

The river may look like a silent water upstream, but quickly turns into a rapid-river spiked with several dangerous chutes in its lower course.
