Ancient gold mines, worked from the 16th century until 1956. The deposit consists of 23 sulphide-bearing quartzite strata, hosted by weakly metamorphic Ordovician quartz-phyllites of the Innsbruck series, which trend east-west and dip at 70° to the south. Gold mainly occurred as microscopic inclusions in pyrite and arsenopyrite.
A tourist mine can be visited.
