Jan S. Krogh's Geosite: Austria – Liechtenstein border
station at Ruggell (LI) and Nofels (A)
Grenzübergangsstelle (Border passing point) at
Nofels.
I am entering Liechtenstein for the first
time at Ruggell, the northernmost settlement of the principality.

Liechtenstein pictured towards the east. The line seems to follow the
ditch.
Liechtenstein has a customs union with
Switzerland which carries out her customs service. This sign reads
"Swiss Custom Office Ruggell in the Principality of
Liechtenstein". Also the passport control is carried out by Swiss
officials, but the Liechtenstein
stamp itself is differing from the Swiss
passport stamps.
