It rises in the Fichtel Mountains and flows into the Waldnaab near Windischeschenbach.
== Course == The source of the ''Fichtelnaab'' is located on the southeastern slope of the Ochsenkopf ({{Höhe|1024|DE-NN|link=true}}) northwest of Fichtelberg and west of the Fichtelsee (10.5 hectares and 752 m above NN). From there it flows southeast through the villages of Fichtelberg and Mehlmeisel in the district of Tirschenreuth. From there the ''Fichtelnaab'' passes through Brand, Ebnath, Neusorg and Erbendorf to Windischeschenbach, where it joins the Waldnaab.
