The Floßbach (also Floßgraben or Floßkanal, formerly Flotzbach or Flotzbachgraben) is a manmade river, a good 16 kilometres long, and an orographically right-hand tributary of the Isenach, in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It was built in the 18th century to enable the timber rafting of firewood.
