Liechtenstein is divided into a comparatively narrow area of level land bordering the right bank of the Rhine River and an upland and mountainous region occupying the remainder of the country; the level land occupies about two-fifths of the total surface area.
The greatest elevation, Grauspitz (2,599 m/8,527 ft), is in the south, in a spur of the Rhaetian Alps.
The indigenous population, accounting for 87.5% of the 1998 total, is described as being chiefly of Alemannic stock, descendants of the German-speaking tribes that settled between the Main and Danube rivers.
The remote and beautiful Lawenatal Valley is embraced by the Schwarzhorn, Grauspitz and Falknis peaks.
At the southern end lie the Grauspitz (8527 feet), the Plassteikopf (7730 feet), the Rappenstein (7287 feet), the Falknis (8400 feet) and the Mittagspitz (6119 feet).
The Grauspitz is actually a double peak, Hintergrauspitz (2574m) and the Vorderesgrauspitz (2599m).
