Silbergruben, Haimburg, Völkermarkt, Kärnten, Österreich
Ancient silver mines, working fahlore-bearing quartz-calcite veins hosted by chlorite-rich micaschists. Several adits still remain north and east of the town. Most of the workings were soon abandoned, since the ore content of the veins was rather low.
Located about 5 km NE of Völkermarkt.
