The Reisbach is a stream that is a good five kilometres long and is a left tributary of the Wieslauter in the eastern Wasgau, the southern part of the Palatine Forest in Germany and northern part of the Vosges in France.
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.
