The Postal Little Stallion Mountain is an Outbound hilltop castle on the Great Hengstberg upstream little Hengstberg at Silver Creek , a district of the Upper Franconian town of Selb .

The name of the mountain was first referred to in 1477 as "kleyn Henngstperg", the castle stables were first mentioned in 1499 in the land register of the six offices . Today an oval circle of granite stones can still be seen. The question arises as to whether the castle stables have medieval origins or whether it served as a defensive structure in prehistoric times.
