Located 4 km WNW of Gaisfeld at N47.02521 E15.14645, elev. 400 m.
In the Wöllmiss creek (Wöllmissbach) about 6 inch boulders have been found in the creek bed which consist of a glassy quartz with a brownish colour (due to iron oxide). Rutiles with a size of 5 x 15 mm have been found within these boulders.
The source of these boulders has not been found yet.
Flügel (1960) reports the discovery of garnets in garnet micaschists (Granatglimmerschiefer) on the hill called Wöllmissberg, but does not specify in any detail where they were found.
