Kaiserer quarry, Hüttwinkl valley, Rauris valley, Hohe Tauern Mts, Salzburg, Austria

(Kaisererbruch, Hüttwinkltal, Rauriser Tal, Hohe Tauern, Salzburg, Österreich)

The bottom of the Hüttwinkl valley is filled with rocksled material, originating from different places in the Krumlbach and upper Hüttwinkl valleys. These boulders are worked in the Kaiserer and Lohning quarries. The minerals therefore, originate from a large variety of different parageneses.
Presently (2005), only the Kaiserer quarry is sporadically active, and not much interesting material is found.

Note: some of the "davidite" and "loveringite" reported from here appears to be cleusonite instead (see also Lohning quarry (Lohninger quarry)).
