    Wow, I learned so much from this video on Liechtenstein! It's amazing how such a small country has such a rich and complex history. If you're interested in learning more about Liechtenstein, I highly recommend the book 'A Journey Through Liechtenstein's Fascinating History' by Lea Marie Nigg. It's a beautiful and informative book that offers a unique perspective on Liechtenstein's history

    I liked your video! It would be great if you could make a video about Malbun in Liechtenstein. I was in Vaduz in 1994, but only to get my passport stamped. I would love to have a holiday just in this country. Thanks for the information about the train trip from Zurich. The train ticket seems reasonable. It looks like a future plan for me.

  • @RunThatMile

    @RunThatMile

    Жыл бұрын

    If the weather is good and you are not afraid of heights, I highly recommend that hikes! If you are doing only the first part out and back, the "scary" section lasts ~2km. There are a few more scary parts if you are doing the full trip one way. Even if you turn back when it's too much for you, I think it's still worth it once you are past the tree line! Let me know if you have further questions! I also have 2 other videos which I filmed the hike. You can check it out to see if it works for you!

  • @RunThatMile

    @RunThatMile

    Жыл бұрын

    It is a small country in size so not a place for attractions like Paris. Major points of interest would be the few streets in the capitol of Vaduz, the short hike to Vaduz Castle, and Das Rote Haus. If you have more time, you can do the Furstensteig Drei Schwestern hike in my other Liechtenstein videos. If you have even more time, there's the Burg Gutenberg which the bus from Switzerland passes by. The mountain towns of Triesenberg and Malbun would also be scenic. Let me know if you find more interesting spots! Enjoy the trip!
