Historical mountain trail, Eschnerberg
On the trail of the past in the most beautiful nature
The Historical High Trail is located in the Liechtenstein Unterland. It stretches across the Eschnerberg from the municipality of Bendern to Schellenberg, on the border with Austria. The slightly uphill hiking trail leads past the prehistoric sites of Lutzengüetle, Malanser and Borscht, which bear witness to around 7000 years of settlement. 48 information boards describe the archaeological sites and provide interesting facts about historical events, places and buildings steeped in history, vantage points, field names, legends and the diverse nature of the Eschnerberg, located in the middle of the Rhine Valley.

Historical mountain trail from Bendern to Schellenberg (Eschnerberg)
The historical mountain trail from Bendern to Schellenberg leads past the cradle of the country of Liechtenstein, rising slightly to reach the prehistoric settlements of Lutzengütle and Malanser. Hikers have the choice between the entire route and four well-signposted circular routes.
The high-altitude trail, created between 1972 and 1975, runs along the entire ridge of the Eschnerberg on both sides and past archaeological and historical sites. The high path is very well signposted. Information boards along the path report on archaeological sites, the history of the five Lower Land communities, field names and legends as well as natural history events. Each information board has a QR code and a map that hikers can use to find out the exact location.
The Historical High Trail can be walked either in its entire length of 15 kilometers or in four sections of 3.1 to 8.2 kilometers. The hiking trail leads through the quiet forest, past prehistoric settlement sites and offers wonderful views of the Rhine Valley, the Rätikon mountains, the Alvier group and the Alpstein. Walking the mountain trail has a special appeal at any time of the year.
