#17515 Hiking Alpine Hills in Triesenberg, Liechtenstein

For many, Liechtenstein is just a quick stop on an itinerary that aims to take in as many European countries in as short a time as possible. They only visit the capital Vaduz for an hour and leave with a very incomplete impression of this old Alpine principality. Little Liechtenstein has much to offer, so stay a few days and head for the hills. 2.5 kilometres of brisk climbing from Vaduz is charming Triesenberg with its diminutive Rathaus, onion-domed church, wooden chalets on rolling green meadows, towering mountains, and grand view of the Rhine Valley below. If the hike is too steep, the local bus takes only a few minutes. Unless it has to stop for cows.
