    Mountain biking

    Trail between the lower Pöhlberg walkway and the Stoneman climb from Königswalde. The route passes the St. Briccius mine, a historic landmark.

    Hiking

    Mining for tin and later copper and silver ores in the area of what is now Pinge behind the ski hut probably began around 1400. In this area, a gangue cluster or a gangue cross is dismantled. At the same time, mining began on a vein of ore trending north-east on the surface.

    The no longer recognizable "Upper St. Briccius Stolln" detached the treasure trove from the water, but soon became irrelevant due to the lower "Middle St. Briccius Stolln".

    In 1442 the pit "St. Briccius" already confirmed by the Geyer Mining Authority and documented in 1468.
