Name(s) in local language(s):
Leffler Brunnen, Habachtal, Hohe Tauern, Salzburg, Österreich


"Schwarzphyllit" (black phyllite) outcrops and blocks situated near the Leffler Brunnen (Leffler source), on the orographic left side of the lower Habach valley.
The outcrops and blocks are particularly rich in TiO2 minerals and quartz in clefts.
Please note that in this region it is not allowed to work the rocks using tools directly alongside the road, one has to keep a minimum distance to the road (check the local rules!).
