The Schatzenstein is 760.4 m above sea level. NHN high mountain in the Ore Mountains in Saxony .
geography
The Schatzenstein is located immediately northwest of the town of Elterlein on the municipal borders with Zwönitz and Grünhain-Beierfeld in the Grünhain Forest. The Schatzenstein area is a popular hiking destination with several phyllite cliffs up to ten meters high . Due to the dense forest, however, there is hardly any distant view.
The height of the Schatzenstein forms a watershed from which the Zwönitz rises, which later forms part of the Chemnitz . The other part drains through various watercourses such as the Oswaldbach into the Schwarzwasser . Both are important tributaries of the Zwickauer Mulde . The headwaters of the Zwönitz include a variety of springs. One of these springs was bordered in 1995 and a rest area was created around it.
