The Geroldsbach is a river of Tyrol, Austria. It originates from five fan-like source streams near Axamer Lizum at 1,900 m (6,200 ft) (AA). It flows through Götzens where it changes its direction to northeast and passes through the district Neu-Götzens. It flows further through Wilten, a district of Innsbruck. Finally, it discharges in the district Sieglanger of Innsbruck into the Inn. The Geroldsbach has a length of 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) whereof 3.9 kilometres (2.4 mi) lie in the Innsbruck city area. The Geroldsbach provides four water reservoirs for the region Götzens and two in Wilten with drinking water, which is mainly used for supplying the prisons Innsbruck and Sieglanger. As a result, the lower course carries slightly less water; it retains Grade A water quality throughout its entire course.In the event of flooding or heavy rainfall, the river proved to be a danger several times, so it was straightened in places in the local areas.

The Botanical Garden of the University of Innsbruck (German: Botanischer Garten der Universität Innsbruck) is a 2-hectare botanical garden operated by the University of Innsbruck. It is located in Hötting at Sternwartestraße 15, Innsbruck, Austria. The gardens are open at no cost every day; its greenhouses are open on Thursday afternoons for an admission fee. The garden was established around 1911, replacing an earlier garden elsewhere. It was redesigned between 1948 and 1965, and its alpine rock garden was revised 1987–1990 on modern systemic principles. Its first greenhouse was constructed in 1909, with three additional greenhouses added 1977–1979, a succulent house in 1993, and a sixth greenhouse for container plants built in 1997. Today the garden contains more than 5000 species organized within the following major sections: Alpinum (more than 2000 m2) - a major alpine garden, divided geographically and geologically, containing more than 1000 plants from all, non tropical, alpine regions of the world. Includes an area for ferns, a moor, and four ponds. Arboretum - woody plants including Gymnosperms, Angiosperms, and perennial plants. Cactus houses (330 m2) - about 500 cactus species.
