Gamprin Animal Park 8
The animal habitat in Gamprin is located in the northern part of the Principality of Liechtenstein, situated within the Rhine plain of the Unterland region. The municipality of Gamprin, first documented around the year 1150, established this area as a sanctuary for local fauna, particularly waterfowl and amphibians native to the Rhine's riparian zones. Its proximity to the Ruggeller Riet nature reserve significantly enhances local biodiversity, allowing for the observation of rare bird species such as the Eurasian curlew and the black kite. Over recent decades, targeted restoration projects have been executed to improve ecological connectivity between residential areas and the river. The park serves as a vital location for nature observation and environmental education, featuring displays that explain the ecological significance of the Rhine Valley. Maintenance of the site is conducted according to the sustainable forestry and conservation criteria of the Liechtenstein administration.
