Eichen is a prominent district at the intersection of the municipalities of Gamprin and Eschen in the Liechtenstein Unterland. The settlement extends along the gently rising southwestern foot of the Eschnerberg and is historically closely linked to the agricultural use of the slopes. Today, the neighborhood is characterized by a harmonious blend of traditional farmsteads and modern residential buildings, emphasizing the rural character of the region. Due to its strategic location between the municipal centers and direct proximity to the Bendern industrial area, Eichen has developed into a preferred residential area for working professionals. The surroundings offer diverse leisure opportunities, including the historical ridge path that leads hikers through archaeologically significant zones. Ecological diversity is maintained through old tree populations and well-tended cultural landscapes.
