The Thierberg is 785.5 m above sea level. NHN high mountain in Vogtland , which geographically belongs to the Western Ore Mountains .
Location and surroundings
The mountain is located in the Erzgebirge-Vogtland Nature Park and is bordered in the east by the valley of the Kleine Pyra with the districts of Jägersgrün and Tannenbergsthal in the Muldenhammer community . In the north the slope to the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde falls steeply. In the west is the district of Friedrichsgrün. To the south-west, the slope drops gently to the adjoining Rund Hübel . On the southern mountain flank in the valley of the Thierbach there is a spring from which radium-containing water emerges. The covered spring and the surrounding picnic area are popular destinations.
view
Various forest paths lead to the tree-lined summit of the fully wooded mountain, which only allows a view to the northwest of the Friedrichsgrün district. From the eastern slope above Jägersgrün the view of the main ridge of the Ore Mountains opens up.
history
The Chemnitz-Aue-Adorf railway line, which was closed in 1994, runs on the north side of the Thierberg in the Muldental . A considerable part of the spruce stand on the northern flank was destroyed on June 22nd, 1998, together with the stand in the adjacent Mulden valley, by a tornado , which also destroyed the Jägersgrün station.
geology
The radium contained in the water of the radium source arises from the radioactive decay of uranium , which is contained in the mountains as uranium ore . In modern times there was no mining at Thierberg. In the area around Schneckenstein a few kilometers to the south, uranium ore was mined.
