Introduction
Schellenberg sits on top of the Eschnerberg in the north of Liechtenstein, on the border with Austria, with views over the Rhine Valley on both sides of the ridge.
Overview
Schellenberg is a small village with three good reasons to stop: two castle ruins on the ridge, the Upper Castle a short and popular walk from the road, and the Liechtenstein FarmhouseMuseum in a wooden house around 500 years old. The Eschnerberg ridge walk runs through the village, so it combines easily with Eschen, Mauren and Gamprin on foot.
Discover Schellenberg
Two castle ruins
Schellenberg has two castle ruins on the Eschnerberg. The Upper Castle is the popular one — a short walk away, with views over the plain — and the second ruin, a short walk further along the ridge, rounds off the outing.
The FarmhouseMuseum
The Liechtenstein FarmhouseMuseum occupies a wooden farmhouse around 500 years old and shows how such houses were built and how families lived in them, room by room. It pairs well with the ruins and the Eschnerberg ridge walk.
