The Umlach is a right tributary of the Riss in the Biberach district and belongs to the Danube river system .
course
The Umlach arises southwest of Füramoos near the Aussiedlerhöfe Simmers and flows in a southwest direction to Hummertsried . After it has flowed past Ampfelbronn , it crosses the Weite Ried and leaves the Biberach district in a wide arc. It now flows around a kilometer through the Ravensburg district and receives a flow from the south from the Osterhofer Ach . The arch gives the Umlach a new direction of flow: From here it is south-north oriented. Passing Mühlhausen (Eberhardzell) it now goes to Eberhardzell . This is traversed, whereas downstream Fischbach (Ummendorf) is flown around before the Umlach shortly afterwards reaches Ummendorf . After leaving the village, the Umlach is located in the catchment area of the federal roads 30 , 312 , 465 . This is accompanied by a strong anthropogenic change in the course of the river, as Jordan (the intersection of the federal highways in an oval roundabout, named after the nearby Jordanbad ) is located here. In the area of the Jordan Baths, the Reichenbach flows into the Umlach from the right, before it is immediately afterwards, again from the right and shortly before Biberach, under the streets and into the Riß.
