Old Rhine Bridge Vaduz–Sevelen
Highlight • Bridge
Old Rhine Bridge, Vaduz from 1901
The Old Rhine Bridge is a covered wooden bridge that connects the communities of Vaduz and Sevelen.
In 1901 the 135 m long old Vaduz-Sevelen Rhine bridge was completed. Today it is the last remaining wooden bridge over the Rhine. There was already a wooden bridge over the Rhine here 30 years ago, but after this bridge was raised twice due to the Rhine correction, a new building became necessary.
After the dam burst in Schaan in 1927, the old Rhine bridge was raised again. The bridge is covered and was thoroughly renovated in 2009 and 2010. It is only open to non-motorized traffic and is particularly popular with cyclists.

Vaduz Town Hall
Highlight • Monument
Vaduz Town Hall from 1932
The Vaduz Town Hall was built in 1932/33. It was thoroughly renovated between 1982 and 1984.
The balcony fresco by Johannes Troyer on the south façade shows St. Urban, the patron saint of winegrowers. The municipal coat of arms carved in stone can be seen on the entrance front.
In 1931, the municipal assembly and in 1932 the reinforced municipal council approved the construction of a new Vaduz Town Hall, the cost of which was almost three times the total income of the municipality. The driving force behind the project, which was built in 1932/1933, was the then mayor Ludwig Ospelt.
The economic and financial situation in Vaduz at the time was anything but good. Nevertheless, in 1931, people were brave enough to agree to a project whose estimated cost was up to CHF 350,000.00. A huge sum for the time, if you compare it with the annual tax and total revenue.
The municipal assembly decided on November 17, 1931 to build a town hall with premises for the Bank in Liechtenstein on the building site opposite the "Engel" inn. Numerous planners tried to get the contract. Ultimately, Franz Roeckle was allowed to present his project drafts to the reinforced municipal council on January 29, 1932 and was awarded the contract on the same day. The drafts were revised several times in collaboration with the mayor. On September 27, 1932, the permanent municipal council approved Roeckle's revised plans, and on September 30, the reinforced municipal council approved them.
The construction work progressed quickly and the town hall was officially opened on November 19, 1933. In addition to the mayor's office, the municipal council and the municipal administration, the Vaduz town hall served a variety of purposes. It housed the Bank in Liechtenstein, the Liechtensteinische Landesbank, the post office and various clubs. It has been renovated and rebuilt several times.
A comprehensive renovation took place in 1984 under Mayor Arthur Konrad. Since then, the town hall has been used exclusively for municipal purposes. Ludwig Ospelt (mayor from 1930 - 1933 and 1936 - 1942) was the first incumbent to have his seat in the town hall.

Vaduz Government Building
Highlight • Monument
Government building, Vaduz
The Liechtenstein government building is located in the government quarter in Vaduz, between the administrator's house and the parish church of St. Florin (457 m above sea level). It was built in 1903-05 according to plans by the Viennese architect Gustav Ritter von Neumann under the direction of Emil Zollinger, Zurich. Construction work and renovations took place in 1969, 1985/86 and 1991/92. The building is available to the government and its staff departments as well as the press and information office.
A lack of space in the state offices located in different locations made the construction project, which was expensive for Liechtenstein, necessary. The opening took place on December 28, 1905. The building, which was built on piled foundations and was based on late Renaissance palaces, had a high level of technical comfort for the time (e.g. the country's first central heating, a house telephone system, modern sanitary facilities).
The representative centerpiece of the government building is the Landtag hall. Its artistic furnishings were commissioned by the sovereign, Johann II, by Viennese artists, namely the sculptor Josef Beyer and the painters Eduard Gerisch, Rudolf Sagmeister, Maria Schöffmann and Raimund von Stillfried. The works testify to the client's understanding of art that can be described as traditional, and which is in the context of the intellectual historical trends in Vienna around 1900.

Government Quarter, Vaduz
Highlight • Historical Site
Government District, Vaduz
Southern town center of Vaduz at the foot of the hillside of the castle forest, bordered by the English building on the north side and the Vaduz parish church of St. Florin on the south side.
In the late Middle Ages, on this section of the Reichstrasse Lindau–Milan below Vaduz Castle, there was a manorial court, the manorial (own) chapel of St. Florin with court chaplaincy buildings, the so-called Tschaggaturm (→residential towers) and a small customs house; The court sessions and the Landammann elections for the County of Vaduz took place near the nearby lime tree. Poeschel suspects that this is the center of the gaugrave's, later Werdenberg's, possessions in the Vaduz area. Since the 16th century, the area, which was originally located away from the village, has developed into the so-called official quarters (today the government district) through the settlement of manorial and later state authorities.
In 1585 the erection of a «Cantzley» building is mentioned for the first time, which may have been the Landvogtei or today's Rheinbergerhaus. The latter is occupied as an office building in 1617/19, in the 18th/19th In the 19th century it was the office and residence of the pension master, later the seat of the princely domain administration; since 1968 it has housed the Liechtenstein Music School. The bailiff, also mentioned in 1617/19, was the residence (with interruptions in the 18th century) until 1918, and until 1865 also the official seat of the bailiff (or the provincial governor from 1848). The Estates Parliament also met in this building, known as the Verweserhaus, from 1818 to 1862. Until the 19th century, between the Verweserhaus and the Rheinbergerhaus, there was the former manorial courtyard with the «Schellahüsli», which served as a prison.
The Verweserhaus is attached to the former stately tavern that was built around 1500. This also served as a customs building from 1637 and as a government building from 1865 to 1905. The Liechtenstein National Museum has been located here since 1972. To the north of it, the Estates House was built in 1866-67 as a meeting place for the state parliament, which also housed the offices of the regional courts, judges' apartments and a prison bar. It was used as a secondary school from 1905, as a state library from 1961 and demolished in 1970. Between 1903 and 1905, today's government building with the state parliament hall was built between the administrator's house and the parish church built in 1872 (also the cathedral since 1997). Other official buildings in the government quarter are the Schädlerhaus (today, among other things, the registry office), the Liechtensteinische Landesbank (1952), the state archive (1962) and the post office and administration building (1975).
A project by the Ticino architect Luigi Snozzi, which emerged from an urban planning ideas and project competition (1984-87) to redesign the entire area between the English building and the parish church, was rejected in a referendum in 1993. The new state parliament building planned by Hansjörg Göritz (Hanover) was built in 2002-07 between the administration building and the government building, adopting Snozzi's basic urban planning idea (hillside development). The extension of the State Museum (1999-2003) by the architects Brunhart, Brunner, Kranz (Balzers) and the new construction of the archive and administration building (2006-09) by the architects Keller and Brander (Vaduz) complete the hillside development.

Very easy to ride - except in headwinds. In addition, thanks to the high dam, you always have a bit of a view. Unfortunately, you always have the noise of the highway, which usually runs right next to the dam.

Superb route - you can always choose between a gravel path directly on the Rhine or a tarred route on the Rhine dam on both sides. Used by everyone: joggers, inline skaters, hikers and racing cyclists as well as cyclists.
