The town is located on the northwestern slopes of the Ore Mountains, on both banks of the Zschopau River, about 9 miles south-east from Chemnitz. The highest point is Mt. Pilzhübel with an elevation of 597.8 m . The municipal area comprises the village of Krumhermersdorf, incorporated in 1999. Since German reunification, Zschopau has lost about one fourth of its population.
Zschopau is famous for its motorcycle industry, particularly the DKW and MZ Motorrad- und Zweiradwerk GmbH brands, and the toy business VEB Plasticart.
