The Pinge Geyerin does not owe its formation to the collapse of old ore mines, as is usually the case, but here the ore was mined in open pits.

The Pinge in Seiffen is a great photo opportunity, information boards explain and there are some benches to rest

Since the water from the Seiffenbach was not sufficient, a water art ditch (Heidegraben) was created around 1600. This led additional water from the headwaters of the Schweinitz in Bad Einsiedel over the watershed to Seiffen. After the decline of the mining industry in the 17th century, numerous wooden art manufactories developed from the emergency work of the unemployed miners.

Mining is no longer practiced in Seiffen today. As in the entire Ore Mountains, mining lives on through the preservation of tradition and customs. Mining is largely reproduced and immortalized in the wood art from the Ore Mountains. Mountain parades are held primarily at Christmas time.

The last witness to mining activity in Seiffen is the Binge. It is located between Seiffen Church and Bergmannsschänke. The Binge is a collapsed underground cavity shaped like a funnel. Today it is used as a backdrop for numerous events.
