The Rotenstein mining area is a sub-district of the Ringenwechsel Mining District.
The Rotenstein mining area comprises 24 old adits . All of these adits are situated east of the Schlierbach, the brook between Gallzein and Obertroi.
Specific locations of the more important adits are found on a map in .
Most references from the Schwazer mining district all point to the original work of Max von Isser from 1805, reworked in a comprehensive book in 1924 .
The position on the map is not related to the exact location of a Rotenstein mineshaft, as this considers an area of multiple mines!
