Geyersche Binge, Mining pit in Geyer, Germany.
The Geyersche Binge forms a crater-like depression with steep walls, reaching depths of 60 meters and spanning an area of 200 by 250 meters.
The site originated from mining activities between 1704 and 1803, when underground tin mining operations led to multiple cave-ins beneath the Geyersberg mountain.
The former mining site represents the industrial heritage of Saxony's Ore Mountains region, illustrating centuries of traditional mining techniques and engineering methods.
Visitors can explore the mining pit through established pathways that circle the crater, with educational signs explaining geological formations and mining history.
The abandoned mining pit now functions as a protected natural area, hosting specialized plant species including crusty lichens, cup lichens, and Icelandic moss.
