Zschopau

Zschopau combines a deep industrial legacy with the wooded contours of the Ore Mountains in a way that reflects its position on the Zschopau River in Saxony. The town developed around Schloss Wildeck, a castle above the river that now houses the German Motorcycle Museum. Zschopau became closely associated with motorcycle production in the 20th century, when the DKW works helped establish it as an important centre of the German motor industry. Beyond the town centre, the surrounding Erzgebirge region is shaped by forested valleys and a long mining tradition.
