==Geography== The municipality of Balzers consists of the villages of Balzers and Mäls, between which lies Gutenberg Castle. The municipality also contains two exclaves: one containing the alpine pasture of Gapfahl, located west and above the Valüna, and one along the western border of the country, containing the forest reserve of Zegerberg and the alpine pastures of Guschgfiel, Matta, and Güschgle. Guschgfiel and Matta are part of Balzers alpine cooperative (Alpgenossenschaft Balzers), while Gapfahl and Güschgle are part of Mäls alpine cooperative (Alpgenossenschaft Mäls). Zegerberg, a former alpine pasture now operated as the "Garsälli/Zegerberg" forest reserve, is owned by Bürgergemeinde (citizens' community) Balzers.
