Silbergruben (einschl. Revier Altenberg; Revier Dürrenrain (Dürnrain)), Ramingstein, Lungau, Salzburg, Österreich


Ancient silver mining area. The high-grade metamorphic synsedimentary-stratiform deposit was worked from 1443 to 1816 by the mining districts of Altenberg, Dürrenrain (Dürnrain), Haderbau, Kräofen, Siebenschläfer and Mislitztal; located north and south of Ramingstein, respectively.
The main ore was galena and sphalerite.

Numerous remnants of old mining activities (dumps, adits etc.) are seen in this area.

A tourist mine ("Silberbergwerk Ramingstein"), situated in the Altenberg district, can be visited. The GRID is also from this mine.
