Name(s) in local language(s):
Fellimännle, Rindertal (Gaflunatal), Verwallgruppe, Montafon, Vorarlberg, Österreich


Small mine/prospect with two old short adits (in part still accessible in 2010) with minor sulphide mineralisation in a pale micaschist(?).
Name is "Knappenschrofen" according to the IRIS database.

Located on the lower end of the steep forested mountain slope opposite (west of) the Fellimännle hut in the Rinder valley.

Note: Fellimännle is a hamlet within the Silbertal municipality; it is not to be confused with the Fellimännle Mountain (2209 m) further southeast!

Best access via a forestry road opposite Hasahüsli hut.
