Ebenholz is an upscale residential neighborhood in northern Vaduz, situated at the foot of the Castle Forest (Schlosswald). The area is characterized by its quiet, slightly elevated position, providing residents with expansive views over the Rhine Valley and the Swiss Alps. Historically, Ebenholz remained agricultural for a long time before being developed as a preferred residential zone starting in the mid-20th century. The architecture consists mainly of high-quality single-family homes and villas, often surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens. The district is located away from the main tourist crowds of the town center, contributing to its exclusive atmosphere. Nevertheless, the heart of Vaduz, with its cultural institutions and government buildings, is reachable within minutes. Forest paths beginning directly behind the residential area lead up to Vaduz Castle, offering excellent opportunities for hiking and nature walks. Ebenholz serves as a prime example of the high quality of life and nature-integrated urban planning in Liechtenstein.
