Schmiedestollenhalde, Wittichen, Schenkenzell, Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland

The most famous dump of the Wittichen area, heavily worked over.
It does not belong to an actual mine, but was driven to haul ores from the nearby Alt St Joseph and Gnade Gottes mines, to which it is connected underground.

Small amounts of slag also occur in the dump; the slag mineralogy was described by Nieding (1980).
