It is formed at the confluence of the rivers Breitach, Stillach and Trettach near Oberstdorf in the Allgäu region of the Alps, close to the Austrian border. From there it runs northwards, passing the towns of Sonthofen, Immenstadt, and Kempten.

Between Lautrach near Memmingen and Ulm it forms the border between the two German States Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg for about 50 kilometres (31 mi). The river flows into the Danube in the city centre of Ulm.
The Iller has a catchment area of 2,152 square kilometres (831 sq mi). It ranks as the seventh of Bavaria's rivers by water flow, with an average throughput of 75 cubic metres per second (2,600 cu ft/s) at Senden, a short distance upstream from the Danube. The power of the river is used for the production of hydroelectricity via eight power stations with a total net capacity of 51 MW (1998).
A bicycle route follows the Iller, which is also a popular location for rafting and trekking.

[de] Iller
Die Iller ist ein rechter Nebenfluss der Donau. Ihr lateinischer Name war Hilaria oder auch Hilara. Die Bezeichnung ist keltischen Ursprungs und stammt von dem Wort ilara für ‚eilig‘; später wurde der lateinische Begriff hilaris, der mit ‚heiter, freundlich‘ übersetzt werden kann, zur Deutung herangezogen. In der lateinischen Vita des Heiligen Magnus wird der Name so gedeutet, dass sie freundlich genannt wird, gerade weil sie als wilder Bergfluss dies nicht ist. Zur besseren Lesbarkeit wird der Flussname manchmal in Atlanten und auf Straßenschildern Jller geschrieben.- [en] Iller

El río Iller (pronunciado Íler) (latín Hilaria, del celta ilara: muy deprisa) es un afluente derecho del Danubio. El río tiene una longitud de 147 km y se origina en la unión de los ríos Breitach, Trettach y Stillach cerca de Oberstdorf (Alemania). Atraviesa los Alpes en la región de Algovia y desemboca en el río Danubio al suroeste de Ulm.[it] Iller (fiume)
Il fiume Iller (antico nome latino: Ilargus) è un fiume tedesco che scorre in Baviera e confluisce nel Danubio alla sua destra orografica. Le sue fonti si trovano a circa 2000 m s.l.m. nelle Alpi, al confine tra Austria e Germania. Vicino a Oberstdorf, a 783 m s.l.m., si riuniscono tre piccoli fiumi, Breitach, Stillach e Trettach. È a partire da questo punto che il fiume prende il nome di Iller. Da qui scorre poi verso nord attraversando Sonthofen, Immenstadt e Kempten.[ru] Иллер
