💡 Tips

The flat, paved country roads are convenient for relaxed e-biking with the whole family.
Always yield to wide agricultural machinery passing through the narrow farming lanes.
Visit during the 'golden hour' before sunset; the flat light across the lowlands is great for photography.
Use the local bus network connecting Gamprin to Vaduz for quick, stress-free travel.

Sunset at Rheindamm

Oberau is a district of Gamprin distinguished by its direct location on the Rhine and its significance for sports. This area was formerly part of the natural floodplain before being permanently protected from flooding by the construction of the Rhine dam in the 19th century. Today, Oberau hosts important municipal facilities, including sports fields and training grounds used intensively by local clubs. Its proximity to the Rhine cycle path makes Oberau a popular stop for cycling tourists traversing the Principality. In addition to the sports areas, modern residential buildings can be found here, benefiting from the quiet location by the river. Renaturation measures on the banks of the Rhine in this area have helped strengthen the connection between the residential space and the river once again. Oberau thus represents a successful combination of sports facilities, natural space, and an attractive residential location within the municipality of Gamprin.
