Small abandoned graphite mine. The graphite layer had a thickness of up to 1.2 m and a N-S strike. The graphite was somewhat brownish due to admixture of clay.
In 1995 an adit was still open.
Note: coordinates are approximate, based on description of an open adit in Holzer & Zirkl (1962) ("... immediately north of the Reising creek, around 500 m WSW of the church of Rastbach").
