    Our first stop in Liechtenstein. The castle is set right in a neighborhood and near walking trails which this country is known for. It is well maintained ruin. Clearly they take excellent care of it. Entry is free and free parking is nearby. There even a fire pit in it likely used by locals. Really enjoyed this castle and the setting.

    Excellent quiet castle to walk about with firepits for evening enjoyment.

    I love ruins like this, since it makes me feel more like I’m there at the time, than when the castle has been renovated. Great views as well.

    OBERE BURG SCHELLENBERG:= A very old Castle Ruins that is well maintained and well surrounded by beautiful green sceneries of big trees and walking trails. A nice place to meditate or roam around to find peace and order in mind after a stressful day :-)

    The Upper Castle is the older of the two castles in Schellenberg. The first building probably dates back to the end of the 12th century and developed into a castle in the following decades. After its destruction in 1405 by the residents of Eschnerberg during the Appenzell War, it was probably rebuilt and then left to fall into ruin from the 16th century.

    Interesting ruin. Must have been very difficult to attack. It is well preserved with many sitting areas with fire pits. When we visited, it was raining hard, but it was still worth the climb.

    Amazing place. Castle is a very evocative ruin, the views are simultaneously fantastic, and the best bit? As members of the Scout Association, you can get a concession to camp here, right next to the castle, with toilets and fresh water on site. Simply perfect

    The ruins are very nice. There is not much to see since they are just ruins, but my son had the greatest time ever, he ran and played for over an hour pretending to be a knight protecting the castle. Great place for a family afternoon or a nice nature walk.

    Compared to the other I guess "untere" burg this one was nice. You could walk around a little bit take some pictures. The signs on the walkway to find the "obere" burg could be in my opinion be better.

    Princely Liechenstein Tattoo. A great evening but there was more variety last time. A bit short on Bagpipes this year and a bit too much Irish dancing.

    Nice place to visit. Not crowded. Peaceful.

    A beautiful place, it started raining when we arrived, but that didn't take away from its beauty. The view into the valley is also very admirable. It's definitely worth it.
