The Jossa is a 22.9 km long tributary of the Fulda in the Vogelsbergkreis and in the district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg , Hesse ( Germany ). Its catchment area is 122.004 km².
The river arises, above Schlitz- Willofs , at 393 meters above sea level on the slopes of the Steinberg es (494 m above sea level ) from the confluence of three streams in the Lauterbach forest .

The Jossa initially flows from Willofs in a northerly direction via Udenhausen to Grebenau and via Grebenau- Wallersdorf and Breitenbach- Hatterode to Breitenbach am Herzberg . Passing this village to the east, it flows eastwards through the districts of Oberjossa and Niederaula - Niederjossa , and then at 210 m. ü. NN. to flow into the Fulda.

Natural spaces
In terms of natural space , the forest area from which the Jossa rises is assigned as Schlitzer Land (355.1) to the Fulda-Haune-Tafelland (main unit 355), which is externally bounded by the Rhön (east), Vogelsberg (south-west) and Knüll (north). The lower course of the river, extended by the left tributary Schwarza , roughly delimits the Schlitzer Land to the Ottrauer Bergland (355.0) around the 592 m high Rimberg , on whose southern flank the Breitenbach also arises. The source of the Schwarza is in turn located in the extreme south of the Ottrauer Bergland at the southern foot of the 501 m high Auerberg es.
