Ancient iron mines of the 18th and 19th century, working stratabound magnetite-hematite(-pyrite) mineralizations in Mesozoic conglomerates. These mineralisations represent metamorphosed (greenschist facies) paleoplacers. They are the most important ore deposit in the Stubai valley.
Located west of Fulpmes.
