Bleigrube am Breitenberg, Erlenbach bei Dahn, Verbandsgemeinde Dahner Felsenland, Landkreis Südwestpfalz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland
Lead-bearing veins in sandstones, worked until 1819.
Located southeast of Erlenbach.
Note: Refikite (identified with SXRD) was found by chance in the surroundings of the adit. It may be a product of resin of the spruce trees that grow there and is probably not in relation to the ore mineralisation.
