The Vinxtbach is a stream, a good 19 km long, which rises south-southwest of Schalkenbach-Obervinxt and east of the Adert and which discharges into the River Rhine near Rheineck Castle between Bad Breisig and Brohl-Lützing.

The name Vinxt is derived from the Latin term finis, which means "border". Today the Vinxtbach forms a dialect boundary, "Vinxtbach line" (Vinxtbachlinie). North of the Vinxtbach the Ripuarian dialects are spoken, south of it, the Moselle Franconian dialects.
