Großschönau combines a long textile tradition with a rural setting in a way that reflects its position in Upper Lusatia, close to the Czech and Polish borders. The municipality lies in the Mandau valley, with the Zittau Mountains rising to the south. Textile manufacture shaped the town for centuries, particularly damask weaving; the German Damask and Terrycloth Museum documents this heritage and the techniques behind it. Its districts extend toward the mountain foothills, linking the settlement to walking country and the cross-border cultural geography of Lusatia.
