Tessenberg, Pustertal, Osttirol, Tirol, Österreich
Iron(-copper) mining area; mainly mined during WW1.
Pyrite deposit in quartz phyllite with minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena.
The adits are at an altitude between 1750 and 2100 m (Tornquist, 1935).
Located at a south-eastern branch of the Stulperrast below the so-called Morgenrastl. At about 1900 m a.s.l. "north of Abfaltersbach" (?) (Cerny & Schroll, 1995).
