Deutschkatharinenberg is located about 9 kilometers southeast of Olbernhau in the Ore Mountains. The settlement lies partly directly on the German-Czech border, which is marked here by the course of the Schweinitz River. A small settlement stretches into the side valley of a stream flowing into the Schweinitz. The town is surrounded by extensive forests on both the German and Czech sides. - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschkatharinenberg
