Not really a fixture in Grimm's, swamps are considered symbols of confusion, fetid miasmas where unseen roots, 'quicksands' & sucking mud can drag you under & suffocation quickly ensues. One translation of "The Water of Life" features swamp water as a deadly potion.

"They made her a grave, too cold & damp
For a soul so warm & true;
And she's gone to the Lake of the Dismal Swamp,
Where, all night long, by a firefly lamp,
She paddles her white canoe."
Thomas Moore | The Lake of Dismal Swamp
