Ruggell

Ruggell is the most northerly and low-lying of the Liechtenstein communities/municipalities, with population of 2,322 in 2019.
History.
The name is said to be from the Latin for "clearing the land" (roncale - ad roncalem). Most known for conservation areas and the historic St. Fridolin's Parish Church.
Geography.
While Liechtenstein is known as a largely mountainous country, Ruggell is largely flat and is situated along the Rhine River, where the international borders with Switzerland and Austria meet.
Flora and fauna.
On the north side of the Eschnerberg mountain located about 90 hectares natural reserve , rich in fauna and especially in flora. This bog was created after the melting of the Rhine Glacier about 16 500 years ago and the subsequent formation of the Lake Constance. The peat mining that had been significant probably since the 19th century started to declined after the Second World War. Of the original 100 peat huts, 12 were still standing in 1982. 
The great biodiversity of the Ruggeller Riets includes peat moss, moor grass, er and bogrush. At the end of May to June the siberian iris blooms in the large parts of the nature reserve. 736 plant and 1631 animal species occur in the Ruggeller Riet, among them the white stork and the eurasian curlew, which has disappeared as a breeding bird since 1997. 
The Ruggeller are popularly called "Lättaknätter". The loamy soil that occurs here is called "Lätta". In the past peat was used to heat houses during cold season. This ancient tradition has increasingly disappeared in recent years.
