Here you have a beautiful view of the Altenberger Pinge, a crater created by mining.

"The Altenberger Pinge (also Altenberger Binge) is a pinge [i.e. a mining-related collapse funnel] in Altenberg in the Eastern Ore Mountains that was caused by mining on tin stone. The main rupture occurred in 1620. At the beginning of the 19th century, the pinge only had an area of about 2.5 hectares It was significantly expanded by intensive ore mining, especially from around 1976. Today it has an average diameter of 400 m, a depth of around 130 m and an area of around 12 hectares.

The Pinge and some associated mining facilities are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Montanregion Erzgebirge. In 2006 it was recognized as one of the 77 most important national geotopes." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altenberger_Pinge
