The Schmutter is a 8.26 km long, south-south-east and right tributary of the Geltnach in the Wertach-Lech-Jungmoränenland . It flows in the Bavarian district of Ostallgäu .

Course and catchment area

The Schmutter runs entirely in the Wertach-Lech-Jungmoränenland, a part of the natural spatial main unit group Subalpines Jungmoränenland . The closely spaced sources of their uppermost source streams are located in the municipality of Roßhaupten a little west-northwest of the summit region of the Fahrenberg ( 867  m above sea  level ) - a little below (right, longer source stream) and above (left, shorter source stream) at an altitude of 850  m .

The Schmutter flows in a predominantly north-northwest direction through unpopulated area. Almost 650 m after the union of its source streams, it receives a short tributary on the left and then runs through the Wasachmoos. Then four short streams flow into it - on the right-hand side: Ochsenbrunnbach in the municipality of Roßhaupten and, after changing to the municipality of Stötten am Auerberg , Schönbichel-, Schonrain- and Ebersbach after the change to the Schmutterhütte . After this the stream flows through the Hennengittermoos and the Rautenfilz.

The Schmutter then flows under a bridge ( 730  m ) of the connecting road that leads from Sulzschneid in the urban area of Marktoberdorf to Heggen in the municipality of Stötten am Auerberg, about 930 m west-southwest of Heggen in the Wertach tributary, Geltnach, coming from about south-southwest .

The catchment area of the Schmutter is 8.82 km² and thus a tiny bit larger than that of the Geltnach up to the confluence, which is a bit longer on this route.
