course
The source of the Kirnbach is in Hagenschieß , an extensive forest area between Pforzheim and Tiefenbronn . First heading north-east, the Kirnbach crosses under the Autobahn 8 ( Karlsruhe - Stuttgart ) after about one kilometer and then turns north. The motorway follows the Kirnbachtal for just under four kilometers; it lies on the left, western slope. In this section, above the right slope of the valley, the district of Neubärental of the municipality of Wurmberg is located .
About 2.5 kilometers above its confluence with the Enz in Niefern (to Niefern-Öschelbronn ) the Kirnbach flows from the right to the Ortsbach coming from Öschelbronn . Niefern passes the Kirnbach partly verdolt . Within the Verdolung, the 1.5 kilometer long Schillbach flows from the left . Just before its mouth, the Kirnbach crosses a commercial canal of the Enz.
