A pegmatite locality.
Grasstein (Le Cave in Italian) is the northernmost frazione of the municipality of Franzensfeste in South Tyrol (Italy), located immediately north of the Sachsenklemme in the Wipptal (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachsenklemme).
The place used to be an important transshipment station on the Brenner Railway for north-south freight traffic. The large freight yard was abandoned in the 1980s.
The settlement goes back to an original farm, Hof Grozzenstain, which was first mentioned in 1235 (from Old High German grΕΚ 'big' and stain 'rock').
In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Fuggers operated a steelworks in Grasstein as part of the Jenbacher Society, in which ores from nearby mining sites were processed.
Today, in addition to the Brenner Railway, the A22, the SS 12 and the cycle route 1 βBrennerβSalurnβ also lead through Grasstein.
