Abandoned graphite open-pit mine/quarry. It was active since 1831.
Between 1962 and 1964 around 35.000 t of graphite ore were mined (Holzer & Wieden, 1966); in that time the mine was operated by the local company "Mühldorfer Grafitbergbau AG".
Two adits (Adolfistollen and Anthonistollen) are mentioned by Holzer & Wieden (1966).

Located immediately north of Wegscheid (near Mühldorf, southeast of Ottenschlag).
