Ruggeller Riet, Nature reserve and wetland in Ruggell, Liechtenstein
The Ruggeller Riet spans 90 hectares of diverse ecosystems, containing peat bogs, marshes, ponds, hedges, trees, and meadows in northern Liechtenstein.
The wetlands formed 16,500 years ago after the Rhine Glacier melted, with archaeological findings indicating human presence since the 4th millennium BCE.
The reserve maintains preserved structures from traditional farming practices, including peat and hay huts that date back to the 12th century.
The area connects to bicycle path networks in Austria and Switzerland, offering designated routes for walking, cycling, and inline skating along the Rhine.
Each year at the end of May, large sections of Ruggeller Riet transform when thousands of Siberian Iris flowers bloom across the wetland.
