Sackgraben, Achseten, Engstligental, Kandertal, Bern, Schweiz (Suisse; Svizzera)
Mined out Pb-Zn-Cu deposit hosted in (a) Flysch sandstones (Keuper) and (b) Tertiary cataclasites.
The vein-like sulphide mineralisation which was mined for copper. Apart from chalcopyrite, galena-sphalerite ore is also present.
Few remnants of the mining remain, including a 60 m long adit.
