=== Mountains === About half of Liechtenstein's territory is mountainous.<ref name="Geologie Gebirge">{{Cite web |title=Geologie, Gebirge, Berge, Gipfel, Alpen – Fürstentum Liechtenstein |url=http://www.liechtenstein.li/land-und-leute/geografie/geologie-und-gebirge/ |access-date=18 February 2021 |website=www.liechtenstein.li |archive-date=25 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125002447/https://www.liechtenstein.li/land-und-leute/geografie/geologie-und-gebirge/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Liechtenstein lies entirely in the [[Rätikon|Rhaetikon]] and is thus – depending on the classification of the Alps – assigned either to the [[Eastern Alps]] (two-part division of the Alps) or to the Central Alps (three-part division of the Alps). The highest point of Liechtenstein is the Vordere Grauspitz (Vordergrauspitz) with an altitude of {{cvt|2599|m}} above sea level, while the lowest point is the [[Ruggeller Riet]] with an altitude of {{convert|430|m}} above sea level. In total, there are 32 mountains in Liechtenstein with an altitude of at least {{convert|2000|m}}. The Falknishorn, at {{convert|2452|m}} above sea level, is the fifth highest mountain in Liechtenstein and represents the southernmost point of the country. The Liechtenstein-Graubünden-Vorarlberg border triangle is the [[Naafkopf]] ({{cvt|2570|m}} above sea level).<ref name="Geologie Gebirge" /> In addition to the peaks of the Alpine chain,<ref>Der westliche Rätikon wird nur aus orographisch-systematischen Gründen zu den zentralen Ostalpen gerechnet, weil er südlich der Ill–Arlberg-Furche liegt.</ref> which belong to the Limestone Alps, two [[inselberg]]s, Fläscherberg ({{cvt|1135|m|disp=or}} [[above sea level]]) in the south and [[Eschnerberg]] ({{cvt|698|m|disp=or}}) in the north, rise from the Rhine Valley and belong to the Helvetic cover or [[flysch]] zone of the Alps.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://giftbot.toolforge.org/deref.fcgi?url=http://alpen-info.at/html/liechtenstein.html|title=Stabsstelle für Kommunikation und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit: Fürstentum Liechtenstein → Geologie}}{{Dead link|date=August 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Eschnerberg represents an important settlement area in the Liechtenstein [[Unterland (electoral district)|Unterland]].
