Paddle tour over 2 stages on the Iller

The Iller drains the mountains of the Allgäu with summit heights of over 2000 meters. Unfortunately, it was not only canoeists who were interested in the meltwater from these mountains, but also the energy industry. At the instigation of local special-purpose associations, power generation began even before the First World War. The damming of the Iller was carried out for the "common good". Today, the "Schutzgemeinschaft Iller" negotiates with the power plant operators. The joint work has led to numerous measures to improve the river ecology.
