Rüttistein is a small cluster of settlements in the municipality of Schellenberg, perched on the ridge of the Eschnerberg hill in northern Liechtenstein. The area is renowned for its tranquil atmosphere and its integration into an expansive meadow landscape. Historically, Rüttistein was shaped by land clearing, as indicated by the 'Rütti' component of its name. Settling on this elevated ridge provided residents with a secure location for agriculture for centuries, well above the Rhine plain that was once prone to frequent flooding. Today, Rüttistein is primarily valued as a residential area, featuring a blend of modernized farmhouses and contemporary architecture. Its proximity to the Historic Highland Trail makes the hamlet a key point for local tourism. The vistas extend from the Swiss mountains far into the Austrian region of Vorarlberg.
