Kölnbreinkar, Gebiet Kölnbreinspitze - Lausnock, Maltatal, Hohe Tauern, Kärnten, Österreich

A former Au mine in the Kölnbreinkar, NE of the Lausnock at an elevation of 2400 to 2600 m.

The workings consist of 5 parallel trenches max 30 feet deep and up to 600 feet long in a N2°E-direction, starting at
Trench 1 N47.08297 E13.36346
Trench 2 N47.08066 E13.36537
Trench 3 N47.08199 E13.36665
Trench 3 ending at N47.08599 E13.36679
Trench 4 N47.08173 E13.36758
Trench 5 N47.08957 E13.36840

A mill stone was found at N47.08219 E13.37132 as well as some mercury showing that the ore was processed before it was transported down the valley possibly by mule trains (Säumer).

Panning for gold in the area next to the mill stone still shows some gold flakes.
