After a 78-kilometer journey from the Ostallgäu region near Obergünzburg, the Mindel flows into the Danube here from the right. The Mindel valley has been intensively using water power since the Middle Ages. Today, electrical energy is generated in thirty hydropower plants in the Günzburg district alone.
