Ancient gold mines, working gold-bearing quartz-calcite veins hosted by chlorite schists.
This locality is given by some authors as situated in the Rauris valley, due to an erroneous description by Fugger (E. Fugger (1878): 'Die Mineralien des Herzogthumes Salzburg', 11. Jahresber. d. k. k. Ober-Realschule in Salzburg).
