Small graphite mine, operated between 1924 and 1937.
Several parallel lenses (strike: NNE) hosted in marble and paragneisses were exploited with shafts and open cuts, in a relatively large area N and S of the Taffa creek.

Located about 400 m west of the church of Eich Maria, on both sides of the road to Winkl.
