    Summary (Challenges; Objectives)

    The ecological situation of the Heubach is due to its canalization was quite bad. The water authority of Kempten restored the Heubauch as ecological compensation for the flood protection constructions on the Durach river. After the restoration the brook flows in a natural river bed with different widths and a curved course. Structural elements (e.g. root stocks) were implemented and woods were planted.
