Outcrops of calcsilicate rocks. The occurrence is limited to the two small woods and the adjacent fields west of Schönbrunn.
In one of the small woods, the “Gabe Gottes” tin mine, complete with a sunk shaft, existed in the 18th century. However, hardly anything remains of it today.
The chances of finding specimens are limited to the surrounding boulders. Especially after the harvest, good finds can often be made in the fields.
