History; Mining

The Palfnerkogel is an old mining area that was already used in the Bronze Age (dated 3700-3000 years old in the Arthurstollen), and is part of the Mitterberg copper mining (southern district) . Between the Schattberg / Löhnersbach Formation of the Grauwackenzone ( Ordovician - Devonian , approx. 500–400 million years) - gray phyllitic slate (black slate) - there are diabasic deposits of volcanic origin ( metamagmatites of the metabasite group , Old Paleozoic ). Fahlerz (antimony-rich tetrahedrite ) occurs bound to this . Three corridors were prospected, at Birkstein (Bürgstein) and Burgschwaig south and at Brand / Höch.

The Brandergang is the most important of these three deposits, it was developed  in three tunnels at the beginning of the 20th century by the Tyrolean brass factory in Kramsach and from 1910 by Mitterberger Kupfer AG, founded by the industrialist Arthur Krupp : the Upper Höchstollen at 1112 m, the Höchstollen at 946 m and Unteren Höchstollen at 838 m. The deposits were relatively insignificant, however, the mining was soon stopped again, the ore flow is low here, and the Arthurstollen at fire below at 760 m with the following underground mining became the actual mining ( copper mining desert ).

In the area of ​​the three maximum tunnels there are still small to medium-sized, largely overgrown heaps in the forest and meadow terrain, each covering around 1000–2000 m 3 . Secondary minerals such as malachite and cobalt bloom are typical here .
