Zschorlau

Zschorlau lies nestled in the gentle hills in the western Ore Mountains some 5 km from Aue and is overhung in the south by the Steinberg. The community, as is so with many former forest homestead villages in the Ore Mountains, grew up on a stream, in this case the Zschorlaubach, which rises southwest of the community on a broad moory plateau known in the local speech as Dr Forst or Hoher Forst . Before the stream reaches the community, its waters feed the Filzteich , a popular recreation area. At the end of the community’s area at the Gößnitzgrund comes a glen through which the Zschorlauer Talstraße was built in 1907. Also in this glen is found the St. Anna am Freudenstein visitor mine.
The community lies on the southeast flank of the Schneeberger Lagerstätte , which reaches to the edge of the community. This is made clear by the headframe of the Türkschacht standing on a bank only a few metres behind the houses between Zschorlau and Neustädtel.
