Eastern Ore Mountains
Clausnitz is a village in the municipality of Rechenberg-Bienenmühle in the Saxon district of Mittelsachsen in Germany. It lies in the Eastern Ore Mountains, in the valley of the Rachel, a tributary of the Freiberger Mulde. Clausnitz emerged during the clearings of the 12th century. It is a typical "Waldhufendorf", that has preserved its tidy, village character today with its rural two- and three-sided farmsteads and timber-framed houses.
