The Kilsbach rises in the northern Odenwald between the farms that make up the hamlet of Kilsbach .

Its main direction of flow is the northwest. It flows right past the Wingertsberg . Coming from the forest smithy, a nameless brook flows to him.

The Kilsbach flows through the Bruch von Brensbach nature reserve and finally flows south of Brensbach into the Gersprenz .

Renaturation

The Kilsbach has been drained in the estuary and its river bed has been remodeled in a natural way. The drainage ditches were closed to prevent the reeds and alluvial forests from drying out .
