Red Heap

The Red Halde is the remains of a dump. They cannot yet be assigned to a precise pit and are located on the elevation above the White Pit with which, however, it has nothing to do.

The deposit is weathering of an ore deposit similar to an iron hat in a mine. Iron ore was mined. However, copper ore veins also seem to have been present in the pit, because e.g. beautiful malachite could also be found.
Superficial finds are rarely possible. The minerals found there came to light a long time ago during necessary dredging work
