Ancient nickel mine, started in 1801 and abandoned in 1859, then worked again intermittently, and without much success, until the 1940s (detailed history on the mineralienatlas web page, see below).
Located near Horbach and about 3.5 km SW of St. Blasien.

NOTE: The dumps and the open pit are fenced in, and collecting is not allowed (Nature Reserve).

A special exhibit on the mine can be seen in the mineral museum in Dachsberg-Urberg.
