Ellhorn is a mountain in Switzerland on the Rätikon mountain range on the Central Eastern Alps, located on the border with Liechtenstein. It has an elevation above sea level.
== History == The mountain was historically part of Liechtenstein, in the municipality of Balzers. In the 1930s, Swiss military planners became concerned that the territory made fortifications in Fläsch vulnerable. This concern was heightened by perceptions that Liechtenstein was susceptible to annexation into Nazi Germany in the wake of the Anschluss of Austria.
