Gsperr is a historically significant district of the municipality of Schellenberg in the Unterland region of Liechtenstein. The name likely refers to a topographical barrier or narrowing on the northern slope of the Eschnerberg hill. Settlement in the area dates back thousands of years, as the Eschnerberg was used as a living space as early as the Neolithic period. Gsperr is characterized by its traditional rural structure, with buildings often strategically adapted to the steep incline. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy impressive views of the Austrian town of Feldkirch and the Rhine plain. The region is now a popular destination for hikers and cyclists who utilize the well-maintained paths across the entire ridge of Schellenberg. Despite modern developments, Gsperr retains its rural charm and remains a vital part of the municipality's cultural heritage.
