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.

From the heap gallery in front of the Pinge you have an impressive view towards Selva, Marienberg, Mildenau and Großrückerswalde if the visibility is good. In the summer months, the ski hut offers a snack on Sundays. There is seating for hiking groups.

Prices:
Please note: the area is a landscape protection area, the specified object can only be reached on foot, very steep terrain, good physical condition necessary, private property - depending on the agricultural situation, not all mouth holes can be reached and guided tours only by prior arrangement, no restaurants on site.
