Introduction

Mauren is an Unterland municipality on the eastern slope of the Eschnerberg, with the village of Schaanwald on the road to Feldkirch in Austria.

Overview

Mauren is a quiet residential village rather than a sightseeing stop, and it suits walkers and anyone heading to an event. The Eschnerberg ridge walk passes above it, and in the old village centre the Kulturhaus Rössle — a listed former inn restored as a culture house with a hall and stage — hosts cultural events for the village and the region. Schaanwald, at the eastern edge of the municipality, is the last village before Feldkirch in Austria — and the finish of the 75-kilometre Liechtenstein Trail.

Discover Mauren

Kulturhaus Rössle

The Rössle was the village inn and meeting place in Mauren's historic centre; saved and restored, it is now a listed culture house with a hall and stage, open to local clubs and to the regional culture scene. Check the programme before you go — it is the reason to stop in Mauren in the evening.

On the Eschnerberg

The waymarked Eschnerberg ridge walk links Mauren with the other Unterland villages — Eschen, Schellenberg, Gamprin and Ruggell — with information boards on archaeology, legends and nature along the way. Buses run back from every village.
