The Fichtelnaab is the 42 km long, right or western source river of the Waldnaab in Upper Franconia and the Upper Palatinate. It rises in the Fichtel Mountains and forms the Waldnaab near Windischeschenbach together with the Tirschenreuther Waldnaab.

Surname

The Fichtelnaab only got its name indirectly from the Fichtelgebirge. It is derived from its headwaters on the Ochsenkopf, which was known as "Vichtelberg" before 1495. The Fichtelnaab got its nickname to distinguish it from the other Naab spring rivers .

In the Middle Ages, the Fichtelnaab was also known as the Krumme Naab because it flows in wide windings. The name of the place Krummennaab on the north bank of the lower Fichtelnaab testifies to this .

course

The source of Fichtelnaab is located on the southeast slope of the Ochsenkopf ( 1024  m above sea level.  NN ) about 800 meters southeast of the source of the White Main and about two kilometers northwest of Fichtelberg or the 10.5  hectares large Ficht Kochel (752 m above sea level. NN). From there it flows southeast over the villages of Fichtelberg and Mehlmeisel into the Tirschenreuth district . There the Fichtelnaab arrives via Brand , Ebnath , Neusorg and Erbendorf to Windischeschenbach , where it meets the longer but less water-bearing Tirschenreuther Waldnaab and with it forms the Waldnaab.
