Name(s) in local language(s):
Montanwerke Brixlegg (Schlackenvorkommen), Gebiet Brixlegg - Schwaz, Inntal, Nordtirol, Tirol, Österreich


The area of the Montanwerke Brixlegg, a copper smelter in operation since more than 500 years, contains dumps of old and new slags.
Some were accessible in the late 2000s.

The slags are often very rich in cuprite (sometimes almost monophasic) and copper.
