    Hiking

    The Urlau flood retention basin near Leutkirch in the Allgäu region protects the region from flooding, particularly along the Eschach and Aitrach rivers, as well as in the Taufach-Fetzach-Moos moorland. It can hold up to one million cubic meters of water and is flooded during heavy rainfall to absorb peak flood waters. The Urlau depot monitors and maintains the facility. In June 2024, the basin was completely filled after persistent rain; the rapid deployment of the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) and the fire service prevented an imminent dam failure.
