In the west of the mining district Kaff, the Kohlreuter mine has been the most important one for mining polymetallic skarn ores. It's developed by the 170 m long adit of the same name. As same as in the eastern part of the Kaff district (Johannes adit), the old miners dug large underground stopes measuring up to 40 m in length and 25 m in width. Adits on lower levels such as "Segen Gottes" and "Dreikönig" were used for drainage. Their mouth-holes are still well preserved. The Segen Gottes adit reached a length of 210 m and from its documentation it contained chambers up to 30 m wide and 6 m high. The Dreikönig adit had a length of 285 m and was extended to 440 m during exploration activities after Worldwar I. There are large heaps in front of the mouth-holes which contain some typical minerals of the deposit.
