Liechtenstein

After completing the Romantic Road tour in southern Germany, Katie drove through Austria into Liechtenstein.  We stayed in a small town called Triesenberg and the view from our hotel was great.

After exploring the town and nearby area we drove further into the Liechtenstein mountains to Malbun.  This is a small ski town during the winter and contains some great hiking during the summer.

To us, Liechtenstein seemed like a hidden gem of Europe.  Although it is only 8 km across, this small country is in the heart of the Alps and contains some of the best scenery we’ve seen yet.
