economy

Only a few people live in the valley (the Großkirchheim district of Zirknitz had 37 inhabitants in 2019) and it is not used very intensively for agriculture or tourism. However, the waters are integrated into the Fragant power plant group . The large lake in particular was artificially enlarged for this purpose. Gold was mined up until the 19th century, as evidenced by the pay table ⊙ at 2114 m, where the miners were rewarded.
