Said to be 3 km S to the town (precise coordinates unknown), by a trail to the shelter below the Łabski Szczyt. Old historic records suggest this area (road excavation and old workings) to be related to gold exploration.
NW-SE-directed quartz-rich zone, likely 500-600 m long and 2-5 m thick, comprising quartz-amethyst veinlets (sometimes geode-like forms) with ground granite fragments.
