The Obernberger Seebach formerly called Obernberger Ache originates south-west of Brenner and takes an north-east route to the Sill River. In the middle of the valley the brook passes through the village of Obernberg am Brenner. From the spring until to the mouth it overcomes more than 200 height meters in a V-shaped valley. He provides the village with drinking water thanks to its Grade A quality. In the lower course live fishes such as trouts.
Even though the brook is tiny it has a rich volume (appr. 10-15 m³/sec). It was quite feared because of high water. The brook was mitigrated on dangerous points. Its natural environment is nevertheless quite unchanged.
