Course
The Reisbach rises in the vicinity of the hamlet of Reisdorf near Böllenborn and flows in a southerly direction. After just under 2 kilometres it forms the municipal boundary between Schweigen-Rechtenbach and Bobenthal, before it empties into the Wieslauter shortly before Sankt Germanshof in the municipality of Bobenthal.
