The Ill River flows directly into the Alpine Rhine at the so-called Illspitz – a popular meeting place for cyclists and walkers who enjoy cooling off in the water or having a picnic. Not far away is the modern Illspitz power plant, which has been generating electricity since 2014 and also incorporates ecological improvements such as fish ladders and renaturalized river sections.
