The Železný potok (German: Eisendorfer Bächlein) is an 8 km long, left tributary of the Natschbach in the Czech Republic .

course

The Železný potok rises at an altitude of 693 m to 748 m from several sources on the northern slope of the Owl Mountain . Its sources are located on or directly next to the German-Czech border 800 m north of Friedrichshäng .

From its sources it flows to the northwest on the German-Czech border. After 790 m the stream separates from the border. The border turns more to the northwest and the stream more to the northeast.

2 km further to the northeast, the Železný potok flows through the deserted Eisendorfhütte. Soon afterwards it leaves the forest and the steep slopes and enters the flatter floodplain landscape typical of the Natschbach catchment area. After another 2.8 km it crosses the road from Železná to Bělá nad Radbuzou .

The Železný potok now turns for a kilometer to the northeast and then turns in a bend to the northwest. 1.6 km further it flows into the Natschbach.

Along its entire course, the Železný potok takes in small unnamed streams from the right and left.
