With a length of 96 km, the Schmutter is a small tributary of the Danube.
The Schmutter rises in the perennials about three kilometers west of Siebnach and flows north through the hill country and the Western Forests Nature Park towards the Danube. In Fischach the Schmutter is at the confluence of Neufnach and Erk "Neufnach and Erk bring the Schmutter to work".
From Neusäß it runs on the western edge of the Lech Valley. At the lower reaches of it it flows into the Danube. The mouth of the Schmutter near Donauwörth forms the historic end point of the Via Claudia.
