Riet

The Riet near Schaan is an extensive landscape area in the northern part of the municipality, serving as an ecological lung and agricultural hub. It comprises wide, flat plains that were once swampy regions of the Rhine, made cultivable in the 20th century through elaborate drainage systems. Today, the Riet is a mosaic of fields, meadows, and protected natural spaces, such as the Schaaner Riet. These areas are of great importance for biodiversity, providing habitats for numerous rare bird species and insects. Geographically, the Riet extends to the borders of Eschen and Mauren. It serves the local population as a vital recreation area for cyclists, joggers, and walkers. Amidst the agricultural landscape, individual farms and sheds can be found, shaping the rural scene. The preservation of these open spaces is a central goal of Liechtenstein's spatial planning to balance the dense settlement of the Rhine Valley.
