Located in the northern part of Liechtenstein at the foot of the Alps, on the border with the Swiss canton of St. Gallen, Schellenberg is one of the smaller of Liechtenstein's eleven municipalities, with a population of about 800. The town is known for its tranquil nature and deep history, and boasts the ruins of the medieval castle of Sint Schellenberg (Burg Schellenberg), once an important historical landmark in Liechtenstein. With German as its main language and a slow pace of life, the local population has retained its traditional Alpine cultural identity. Despite its small size, Sint Schellenberg, with its convenient location near the border and unexploited nature, is an ideal destination for hiking enthusiasts and travelers looking for tranquility, and epitomizes a taste of the slower life in the small country of Liechtenstein.
