Plan a hike on the Liechtenstein trail


Discover the highlights of the German-speaking microstate situated in the Alps by hiking the newly launched, 47-mile Liechtenstein Trail. Words: Jack Palfrey.


Gutenberg Castle


Start in the south, where the first notable landmark on the route is Gutenberg Castle, looming large over the town of Balzers from its hilltop perch. Te romantic-style, white-stone fortress was built in the 13th century as a private abode for wealthy barons, but now even travellers can enter its grounds free of charge. Gutenberg is one of five strongholds on the trail, despite the fact that Liechtenstein is one of the few countries in the world without its own army. balzers.li


Vaduz


Five miles north of Balzers is the country’s capital, Vaduz, with its eponymous castle — home to none other than Hans-Adam II, Prince of Liechtenstein — dominating the city’s skyline. Drop into the National Museum to eye some of the prince’s most prized possessions, including artwork and ceremonial weaponry, before heading to the Herawingert ‘princely vineyard’ to sample a royally approved glass of wine or two. landesmuseum.li hofkellerei.at

Taverns play a crucial role in the culture of Liechtenstein, hosting stammtische (regular get-togethers) where locals sip beer and chew over public affairs. Located in the town of Schaan, Restaurant Rössle has been welcoming hungry punters for nearly 200 years, and makes for an ideal pitstop along the trail. Its menu features local favourites including schnitzel and käsespätzle (a cheesy pasta with apple sauce). restaurant-roessle.li


Chapel of the Holy Cross


Following the track north from Schaan, hikers will happen upon the Kreuzkapelle zu Rofenberg (Chapel of the Holy Cross). Tis unassuming 16th-century church is a waypoint on the Camino de Santiago, and drawings from early pilgrims are scrawled all over the walls inside. Te square in front of the church also served as the principality’s public court, where prisoners were sentenced to grisly ends in the gallows across town.


First published in the May 2021 issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) Grossabünt


From the Kreuzkapelle zu Rofenberg the trail winds west towards the Rhine, marking the border with Switzerland. Due to the large marshlands, this region was a hotbed for malaria right up until the 19th century, when the wetlands were eventually drained. Tankfully, no such fate has befallen the outdoor swimming lake at the Grossabünt leisure complex, perfect for revitalising weary limbs on a warm day. grossabuent.li


Ruggeller Riet


Te final section of the hike cuts through the Ruggeller Riet, the largest nature reserve in Liechtenstein. Te protected peatland area is home to more than 1,000 species of animals, with birdlife that includes cormorants, kingfishers and Egyptian geese. Te reserve is at its most alluring in early summer, when the Siberian iris blankets the park’s meadows. From here, it’s a short walk to Schaanwald, the trail’s end point. tourismus.li
