(Hubr)
Greisen deposit mined since 14th century, now abandoned. Greisens were mined first for tin and later for tungsten. The site is huge depression and is closed for tresspassing. Its not guarded, however visits can be dangerous especially after winter or rains because of active landslides and falling rocks.
Locality is still productive with many mineral specimens, though do not expect to find large crystals like during mining.
Located between Krásno and Horní Slavkov, but closer to Krásno.
