Eichholz is a quiet residential settlement in the municipality of Schellenberg, distinguished by its harmonious integration into the forested landscape of the Eschnerberg. The name refers to the former abundance of oak forests in this region, which were of great significance for the historical timber industry. Geographically, Eichholz is situated on a gentle slope facing northeast, offering wide views toward the Austrian border near Feldkirch. The history of the settlement is characterized by the transition from purely agricultural use to modern residential development in the 20th century. Eichholz benefits from its proximity to the Bangserfeld nature reserve, which is renowned for its biodiversity. Residents value the high quality of life created by the combination of rural tranquility and functional access to the infrastructure of Schellenberg and nearby Ruggell. Hiking trails lead directly from here into the surrounding forests, which serve as a local recreation area and preserve the traditional cultural landscape of the Liechtenstein Unterland.
