Ellmaustein is a small alpine summit above Fuschl offering sweeping vistas over Fuschlsee, wooded ridges and the Salzburger Alps—ideal for wide panoramic landscapes and intimate alpine detail. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light and long shadows; sunsets can silhouette the ridge against the lake. Accessible via a well-marked 45–90 minute hike from the Fuschl trailhead (moderate terrain). No entry fee; limited parking at the trailhead—arrive early on weekends. Expect alpine mead
