Eibenberg (1598m) in the sunny south of Ebensee.

The Eibenberg got its name in the 16th century from the yew tree, also called the tree of death. The yew wood, deadly poisonous to humans, was prized for making bows. Especially in late autumn, when the fog does not lift in the lowlands and valleys, you can still soak up enough sun at Eibenberg. Even if there is already snow in the summit area, pleasant temperatures are found due to the heated southern slopes. With good visibility, there is a magnificent panoramic view from the Eibenberg. Starting from the Alpine foothills in the north, the Sengsengebirge in the east, the entire Dead Mountains in the south, and finally the Dachstein in the southwest. The Großglockner is also visible above the Hohe Schrott. The ascent poses no alpine demands. Surefootedness and a head for heights should, however, still be present.
