Liechtenstein: where is this dwarf state located?

The state “lurked” in the spurs of the Alps, and its highest point is the 2600-meter Graushpitz mountain. In the west of Liechtenstein, the Rhine flows. A quarter of Liechtenstein's territory is occupied by forests with oaks, spruces, beeches and other trees growing there, and the mountains are covered with alpine and subalpine meadows.
Liechtenstein consists of two administrative parts - Unterland (center - Schellenberg) and Oberland (center - Vaduz); 11 communities (Reggell, Eschen, Balzers, Mauren, Shan, Planken, Gamprin and others).
