Bockhart adit, Siglitz - Bockhart gold mining District, Siglitz - Bockhart area, Gastein valley, Hohe Tauern Mts, Salzburg, Austria

(Bockhart-Unterbaustollen, Goldbergbaurevier Siglitz-Bockhart, Siglitz-Bockhart-Gebiet, Gasteiner Tal, Hohe Tauern, Salzburg, Österreich)

In the upper Bockhart valley, just north of the Siglitz valley, another group of ancient gold mines is located, working quartz-carbonate veins carrying gold-bearing sulphides in the same geological environment. During the second world war, an adit was driven from the west, to extract the ore still present at greater depths. During the 1980's, both the adit and parts of the old workings were reopened for prospection works for a short period of time.
