Opposite the lake outlet is the entrance to the pit. This is almost completely buried.
A small pond is still a little below the lake.

PWV-Ritterstein No. 29, in the Porztbachal was a former productive lead ore mine. You can look into the pit.

You can still see the entrance from the pit, but you can't go in, the opening is too small.
