Jugel

This dispersed settlement is surrounded by woods, is divided into Ober- and Unterjugel ("Upper and Lower Jugel") and runs along the German-Czech border from the Lehmergrund (708 m) to the crest of the Western Ore Mountains (873 m).

The village may be reached by railway on the Zwickau–Aue–Schwarzenberg–Johanngeorgenstadt line and by car along Staatsstraße 272 which runs from Schwarzenberg via Johanngeorgenstadt to Wildenthal.

Today the territory of Oberjugel incorporates the houses of Henneberg, including a popular pub not far from the Kleiner Kranichsee (928 m), and a raised bog, which is protected as a nature reserve.

Löbel's mill, the Unterjugel Blue Colour Works (Blaufarbenwerk Unterjugel), to which six houses for the paint workers belonged, passed in 1668 into the possession of the Elector of Saxony and, in 1677, merged with the Oberschlema Blue Colour Works (Blaufarbenwerk Oberschlema).

Today, a pub, Gasthof Farbmühle ("The Paintmill"), stands on what is believed to be the site of the former paint mill.
