    Here is a mountain hut which – hard to believe – was still in operation until the year 1995. An information board provides further details about its history, and it is also possible to look inside the hut through the windows.

    Border House "Hut for Border Guards" Ruggell: The Border House served as a hut for Swiss border guards until 1995. The Border House was probably built at the end of the 19th century and has stood in its current location since 1923. Before the customs union with Switzerland, the hut was located on the Rhine dam on the Swiss side, directly next to a ferry landing stage.
    The former hut for border guards was restored in 2004 by the municipality of Ruggell with the help of monument preservation. It has been a listed monument ever since.
