From Wikipedia:
The Ill (all capitals: ILL) is a 72 km long tributary of the Rhine river in the western Austrian province of Vorarlberg.
It flows from the northern slopes of the Silvretta mountain range and then runs north-west through Vorarlberg. The Ill passes through the Montafon and Walgau valleys and the town Feldkirch. It joins the river Rhine a few kilometers northwest of Feldkirch ("Illspitz"), at the border with Switzerland. The Ill has several dams with hydroelectric power stations.
The Meng River originates from the "Red Wall" - gorge at 2,390 meters above sea level. It flows through the Gamperdonatal in a northern direction, where it unites in the municipality of Nenzing with the Ill. It reaches a length of 18 kilometers.
The Gampbach with 5 kilometers of length approaches from the right side out of the Gamptal. Gampbach merges in the middle part with the Meng River.
The coordinates are taken on the left bank of Ill and Meng
