Larzenbachgraben, Hüttau, Radstadt, Salzburg, Österreich


Ancient copper mines, which were first started in the 13th century. The mines were dormant in the 18th century, then briefly active again from 1853 to 1869.

Located in the Larzenbachgraben, 3 km north of Hüttau and about 12 km NW of Radstadt.

Now a tourist mine since 1997, Mrazek (1995) describes minerals found during the reopening of the Georg adit ('Georgstollen'). A small museum ("Erze - Gold und Minerale") in Hüttau can also be visited.
