getting there
Ostrau is bypassed by the B 169 in the west. This federal road connects Chub on the A 14 Leipzig – Dresden with Riesa. The town's train station, on the other hand, is on the eastern edge. Regional trains stop there every hour on weekdays Chemnitz–Riesa–Elsterwerda. On weekends and public holidays, the frequency of journeys is usually reduced to two hours.

The oyster Railway viaduct directly adjoins the train station and was the first major art structure that the Chemnitz-Riesaer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft had built in 1847. South from Chub the route became more demanding and consequently the engineering structures also became larger, where the railway company finally perished and had to be taken over by the state. The 17 meter high and 151 meter long structure is no longer the original railway viaduct, as it was blown up by Prussian pioneers in the Austro-Prussian War in 1866.
From the train station it goes inland to Karl-Marx-Straße (the main street), past the town hall over the Jahna and over the Kirchstraße to Trinity Church by 1901.

trips
- Chub (10 km south, country roads or B 169) - very nice city center: renovated because the flood in 2002 was up to 2 m in the city; very nice theater. You instinctively use the B 169 to get to Döbeln. The road via Münchhof and Zschaitz is a little shorter. To do this, after crossing under the railway viaduct, turn right from the road to Lommatzsch.
- Muck (11 km northwest) - on the way station of the narrow-gauge railway Wild Robert Oschatz – Mügeln – Kemmlitz and - when it's not hunting season for Indians - also very friendly.
- Lommatzsch (13 km to the east) - the center of Lommatzscher care with a winding old town, also the place where Mario Girotti, better known as Terence Hill, stayed during the Second World War.
- Oschatz (13 km north) - located on the northwestern edge of the Lommatzscher care and on the main line Leipzig – Dresden; Weighing Museum, St. Aegidien Church, nearby Osterland Castle.
- Riesa (17 km northeast, B 169) - steel and sports city on the Elbe.
