Röslau (river)
The Röslau (in Czech Reslava ) is a right tributary of the Eger in northeast Bavaria.
It arises from several small water veins on the eastern slope of the Schneeberg in the Russel forest department, which unite to the west of Vordorfermühle (municipality of Tröstau ).
Source version
A source was from the city of Wunsiedel in 1930 at 915 m above sea level. NN set with granite stones as "Rösla". This is where the 44 km long Röslauwanderweg begins, which was established by the Fichtelgebirgsverein in 1980 . The lake path from Weißenstädter See to Fichtelsee leads past the source.
River course
After leaving the steep terrain and the high forest, the Röslau reaches Vordorfermühle, initially turns south-east to Leupoldsdorf and Tröstau , gradually turns in an easterly and north-easterly direction and touches the town of Wunsiedel on its south side. On the way it takes in numerous streams from the area of the Platte , the Hohe Matze and the Kosseine . Then Bibersbach and Wenderner Bach flow in . At Thölau the large railway bridge of the Weiden – Oberkotzau spans the Röslautal. It reaches the Marktredwitz district of Lorenzreuth, and when it leaves the city, it is reinforced by the Peuntbach. In the urban area of Arzberg , the Kössein flows towards the beginning of the Seußen district , popularly known as the “Kosseine”. Before the second village of Elisenfels in the small town, the Leimatbach and Feisnitz follow . Below Elisenfels, it flows through the narrow section of the Gsteinigt valley and then passes through Arzberg, which is largely on the left, where the Flitterbach flows out. Then it meanders through meadows to Schirnding , below which the Grenzbach joins the state border from the right. From here the Röslau to its confluence with the Eger near the Schirndinger village of Fischern is a winding river border with the Czech Republic in the east.

Economic use
Since the Middle Ages, numerous hammer mills and grinding mills have been operated with the water power of the river, the Wunsiedlers have used the watercourse as wooden rafts since the 16th century. From 1850 onwards, raw porcelain mass was transported by barges from the mass mills located in Gsteinigt to the porcelain factories located downstream in Arzberg. Also iron ore was transported on this stretch of water. Thus the Röslau was also used as a waterway for a short time .
Name interpretation
According to documents, the river appeared late, in 1403 under the name "Rosslin", then with different spellings. In dialect it is called "Riasla", on official maps it is called "Röslau". Recent research brings the river name with "in lively motion, excitement" and "flow, flow, fall" in connection.
