Iller-Lech Plateau


The Iller-Lech Plateau, also known as the Upper Swabian Plateau, is one of the natural regions of Germany.

Boundaries

In the northwest the Iller-Lech Plateau borders on the Swabian Jura and, in the extreme northeast, on the Franconian Jura. The boundary with these two natural regions is roughly formed by the course of the river Danube.
In the east the Iller-Lech Plateau borders on the Lower Bavarian Upland and Isar-Inn Gravel Plateaus. North of Augsburg its eastern boundary runs roughly parallel to state road 2035, south of Augsburg east of the Lech, roughly between Mering, Geltendorf and Schongau.
To the south the Southern Alpine Foreland borders on the Iller-Lech Plateau. The boundary between these two natural regions is partly formed by the terminal moraines of the Würm glaciation.

Sub-divisions

The sub-divisions are based upon the natural regions of Germany as shown on the BfN's Landscapes in Germany map. In the following table these sub-divisions are described from west to east.
