Hiking
The name of the mountain was first described in 1477 as "kleyn Henngstperg", the castle stables was first mentioned in a document in the land register of the Sechsämter in 1499. Today you can still see an oval circle of granite stones. The question arises as to whether the stables are of medieval origin or have served as defenses in pre- and protohistoric times. The Burgstall is a Bodendenkmal in the district of Wunsiedel.
