    A pinge is a wedge, ditch, or funnel-shaped depression formed by mining activities. These depressions, which are also known as funnel pits due to their shape, are often caused by the collapse of old underground pits that were operated at a shallow depth. Unlike natural landforms, a pinge is an artificial structure.
    During the search for copper shale, many test tunnels were dug in the Middle Ages. This is also the case here along the Iberg, which can be seen from several pings.

      The pinges are located in the immediate vicinity of the P23 hiking trail and are marked with an information board.
