Kinzig is the name of two rivers in southern Germany:
- Kinzig (Main), flowing into the Main
- Kinzig (Rhine), flowing into the Rhine
The Kinzig is a river in southwestern Germany, a right tributary of the Rhine.
It runs for 95 km from the Black Forest through the Upper Rhine River Plains. The Kinzig valley and secondary valleys constitute the largest system of valleys in the Black Forest. Depending on the definition, the Kinzig is either the border between the Northern and Middle Black Forest or part of the Middle Black Forest. It is located entirely inside the State of Baden-Württemberg and its name is supposed to be of Celtic origin. During the last glacial period the Kinzig and the Murg created a common Kinzig-Murg river system.
