KELAG-Wasserstollen, Kleines Fleißtal, Goldberggruppe, Hohe Tauern, Kärnten, Österreich
A 7km long water tunnel joining the Zirmsee, Brettsee and Großsee reservoirs, running through the Kleine Fleiß and Große Zirknitz valleys. Numerous mineralized Alpine clefts were cut during its construction. At m 4430 and m 4600 Meixner describes similiar paragenesis like in the Pazisel ore veins. Constructed and owned by the KELAG company.
Note. Coordinates arbitrarily added at the approximate center of the tunnel.
