The Chemnitzbach is an approximately 16 km long left tributary of the Freiberg Mulde in the Saxon Ore Mountains .
course
The stream rises at the western end of Friedebach , just before Sayda , and flows through this place in full length. Then he turns north towards Dorfchemnitz . Halfway through it, the Voigtsdorfer Bach flows towards it from the left. Like Friedebach, Dorfchemnitz was also laid out as a row village along the stream. In Mulda / Sa. it then flows into the Freiberg Mulde.
particularities
In Dorfchemnitz the iron hammer Dorfchemnitz , which processed magnetitic iron ores, used the Chemnitzbach as impact water .
The valley meadows between Dorfchemnitz and Mulda are part of the FFH area Oberes Freiberg Mulde valley . The swamp and fen areas are characterized by a great diversity of species. Here come Columbine-Meadow Rue , Avens , Oxlip , Bogbean , Little valerian and marsh cinquefoil ago. Cuckoo's light carnation , meadow knotweed , different-leaved thistle , sharp buttercup and swamp thistle can be seen on the managed dry meadows . The hazel root and the perennial ringelkraut should also be mentioned .
Noteworthy are the occurrences of Westgroppe and brook lamprey , which depend on clean water and little developed flowing water. The crayfish and otters, which are threatened with extinction in Saxony , can also be observed.
The Chemnitzbach valley is also accessible for transport. The Mulda – Sayda narrow-gauge railway ran here between 1897 and 1966 and crossed the stream several times. The entire length of the stream is accompanied by a road.
Due to recurring floods in Mulda, it is planned to build a “green” flood retention basin that will only be dammed during floods.
