The Ruggeller Riet Nature Reserve

On the valley bottom, the Ruggeller Riet Nature Reserve is a refuge of solitude and tranquillity.

Ruggeller Riet Nature Reserve, located in Liechtenstein's northernmost district, is 90 hectares in size. Its diverse indigenous wildlife and, in especially, plants make it a fascinating place ideal for nature enthusiasts.

Many endangered species and plants thrive on lowland moors, ponds, hedges, trees, and litter meadows. The stork has also returned to the area. The breathtaking Siberian iris flowering in late May and early June is an annual highlight, covering extensive parts of the nature reserve in a carpet of blue.

In recent years, the area where the canal runs into the Rhine has been repaired, and a grilling area has been established in Weinbau. The Rhine, with its gravelstone banks and enormous dam, is also a source of peace and tranquillity for people who want to explore the river on foot, bike, or inline skates. The cycling trails in the area are linked to the network that leads to Austria and Switzerland.
