Dorfbachtobel (Küssnachter Tobel):
The Küsnachter Dorfbach is a stream in the Swiss canton of Zurich. It flows into Lake Zurich in Küsnacht.
The Küsnachter Dorfbach rises in the marshy area of the Hintere Guldenen on the western flank of the Pfannenstiel south of the Forch and west of Egg, where it forms in the forest and meadow area from several small, nameless streams.

In the Limberg area on Küsnachter Berg the stream is still called Rüsselbach, named after a field name. In the upper reaches, the stream initially flows to the northwest over a length of around 4.5 kilometers. At the Tobelmühle, where the stream has already dug a deeper cut, a mill was operated with the water from the village stream; the name Mülitobel (Mühletobel) for this part of the stream reminds us of this. South of Zumikon the stream turns to the southwest and flows through the heavily indented and wooded Küsnachter Tobel. At the Obere Mühle the stream leaves the Tobel, crosses the village of Küsnacht and flows into Lake Zurich at the Küsnachter Horn.
