List of rivers of Liechtenstein
This is a list of rivers flowing through Liechtenstein.
- Rhine/Rhein, flows into the North Sea. It forms most of the country's border with Switzerland.[1]
- Samina River/Saminabach, flows into the Ill. It originates in the Principality and continues into Austria.[2][3]
Additionally, there are two more prominent rivulets and one natural lake.
- Liechtenstein inland canal (an artificial water stream completed in 1943; all former Rhine tributaries in the country, except the Ruggeller Mölibach, today flow into the canal)[4][3]
- (Ruggeller) Mölibach (flows into the Spiersbach)[4][3]
- Spiersbach (partly a border body of water between Liechtenstein and Austria), see also: Spiersbach Bridge[3][5]
- Gampriner Seele (lake created by a flood in 1927)[6][3]
Most ponds in the country are artificial, such as those in Hälos near Triesen (3.56 ha), in Schwabbrünnen-Äscher (0.4 ha), the Spoerry ponds, and the Steg reservoir (3.2 ha). The only non-artificial examples are a few small mountain ponds, and the aforementioned Gampriner Seele.[3][7]
