Herren adit

Schwarzleo mining district, Schwarzleograben, Hütten, Leogang, Zell am See District, Salzburg, Austria

Herren adit is a collapsed adit and series of dumps in the Schwarzleo valley.

The site produces a range of interesting mineral specimens, particularly of small copper and lead minerals.

Mindat lists 42 minerals from the site, including some rather uncommon minerals.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find much information out about the site – possibly because of searching in English rather than German, where it would be known as (i think!) herrenstollen – not herrens tollen.

 

We may have specimens from various locales around Salzburg including:
