The village is prettily situ ated at the junction of 4 valleys. A carriage-road has been made hence into the Pinzgau at Mittersill (Rte, 230), by Kitzbühel and the Pass Thurn, About 2 m. 8. from this, in the valley of the Achen, on the

way to Kitzbühel, is the abandoned mine of Bohrerbühel, which, between the years 1540 and 1630, yielded almost incredible trea sures of silver and copper. It is re markable for having the deepest shaft of any mine in the world, except Monk- wearmonth —extending for 500 fathoms into the bowels of the mountain. From St. Johann to El man the road ascends considerably almost all the way, Elmau : being near the summit of the pass. From Elmau to Soli it alternately ascends and descends; from W orgl

Here is a tidy Inn. the Erzherzog Johann, and kept by the Fischmeister of the district, and a boat may be hired, with 2 men, to row to the other end, a distance of i between 4 and 5 m., for 1 ft. Miinz. The outlet of the lake is closed by flood-gates, opened at times

It is connected with the Teplitzersee by a cutting, bearing date 1549, to float timber. The time occupied in visiting the Grundl Teplitz and Kammer lakes from the Krzherzog Johann, and re turning there, is about hrs., 1^ hr. of that time being occupied in walking between those lakes by an indifferent walker.
