The wayside cross on the Schmutter River near Achsheim is a small religious monument, quietly situated on the riverbank by a field and footpath. It blends unobtrusively into the open landscape of the Schmutter Valley and has always served as a place for reflection, silent prayer, or a brief rest. Today, the wayside cross is a familiar landmark for walkers, hikers, and runners, quietly connecting nature, everyday life, and the region's traditional piety.

The Schmutter is a 96-kilometer-long river in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia that flows past Gablingen. It rises in the Stauden, about three kilometers west of Siebnach, and flows into the Danube from the right opposite Donauwörth. In Gablingen, the Schmutter shapes the landscape and offers a wide range of leisure opportunities. Cycling and hiking trails run along the river, inviting you to explore the surrounding nature. The section with a view of Gablingen Castle is particularly attractive and is ideal for walks and bike rides. In June 2024, Gablingen experienced a flood event in which the Schmutter overflowed its banks and flooded parts of the town. Some streets were affected and water penetrated basements and living areas. The Schmutter is not only a scenic highlight, but also an important habitat for numerous animal and plant species. It contributes significantly to the region's biodiversity and is a popular destination for nature lovers.

The wonderful Gablingen Castle is located in the Augsburg district in the Swabian community of Gablingen. It consists of a high and long castle and is located above the Schmutter. The castle was built in the 16th century and was owned by the noble Fugger family. Over the centuries, the castle's owners changed several times. Today it is privately owned and not open to the public.

The castle, which is located in the Swabian municipality of Gablingen, was built in the 16th century and was initially owned by the well-known Augsburg noble family Fugger-Babenhausen until 1889. The historic building is divided into a high castle with a steep gable roof and bay windows and a long castle in front. Together with the church of St. Martin, it is located on a hill above the Schmutter and offers a beautiful terraced, walled castle garden. During the work in 2020, the listed castle was restored and renovated according to the original plans.
