Qibla direction in Liechtenstein
The Qibla in Liechtenstein lies towards the south-east. Depending on the city the angle from true north ranges from 125.8° in Balzers to 126.1° in Schellenberg, and the Kaaba is between 3,940 km and 3,950 km away. The table gives the exact bearing for 11 cities.
Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by the angle of your city. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Liechtenstein can differ from true north by a few degrees; our Qibla finder corrects this automatically when your phone reports true heading.
Why the Qibla changes across the country
Between the cities in the table the Qibla angle varies by 0.2°. Balzers is the closest to the Kaaba (3,940 km) and Ruggell the farthest (3,950 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 126.0°, should not be used everywhere.
Inside a mosque, the mihrab already shows the Qibla. Elsewhere, a compass app, the position of the sun or our Qibla finder can be used; scholars agree that facing the general direction is enough when the exact angle cannot be known.
