Quartz-feldspar mine, closed in the 80'years.
Another active time began in 2009 with a new company, but not inside the old quarry, in the area 200 meters below.
During this active time some minerals could be found, but some times later the operation stopped again.
In 2021 some new working activities inside the old flooded quarry, but not for mining, maybe for constructing a water pipeline.
