The Bollenbach is a roughly 7.8-kilometre-long stream in the German state of Baden-Württemberg within the county of Bodenseekreis. It is a right-hand tributary of the Argen.

Course[]

The Bollenbach rises north of the Tettnang village of Obereisenbach from several springs that lie within the forest of Arlenholz. Thereafter it flows, canalized, in a southerly direction through countryside used for agriculture. After , a village on the Upper Swabian Baroque Route, it passes through the Bollen woods. Here its course is more original. It continues southwards, running past Wiesertsweiler and through the village of , where it finally empties into the Argen.
