Thank you!
Thank you! I’m going to follow in your footsteps (May 2024).
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
Thank you for your comment and the recommendation! I will definitely look into that book. It's really fascinating to learn how Liechtenstein comes to exist in the current form today.
Great work & nicely explained. The hike is definitely one of the most beautiful in our country! 😉
Thanks!! Loved the hike. Wasn't easy to get information about it when I was traveling. Hope this video helps prospective travelers
I’m looking at coming there to study and work. Is accommodation as expensive as Switzerland? And also are there jobs to find easily? Thx
Very beautiful Liechtenstein! I have subscribed. So interesting to see this small beautiful country of Liechtenstein. Greetings from Hemsedal, Norway 🇸🇯 we still have snow here ❄️
Yes, it was surprisingly a beautiful little country! Your home is also a beautiful place. Hope this video helps a bit in your future trip planning!
@@RunThatMile thank you so much, it will be a great help for me. Thank you 👍
Fantastic video, I’m going today and you have given me some great ideas… thanks!
Thank you so much for this very comprehensive video. We will be heading to Zurich and thought of visiting Liechtenstein. Appreciate this
Glad it was helpful! Hopefully you have a great time in Zurich and Liechtenstein. Make sure you double check the weather before considering the mountains =)
Such nice work! Coming from a true active traveler😍
Thank you!! I know there are fellow active travelers out there!!

Happy it can help!!
So beautifully explained.

Lovely!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 🤗
very informative and high quality video.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Good video. Watched from Brazil.
Obrigado!! I just visited South America and will have videos from the area soon!
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.
Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you!! Hope this is helpful!
Your video is great.
Thank you very much!
Great Content! keep it up!
Appreciate it! More to come!

Great video, I'll be in Zurich in September and doing a day trip to Liechtenstein, this hike is a great idea.. when you say scary, how long are the scary sections?
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!
If we just wanna go back from gaflei to vaduz, is there any bus that can take us back straight?
You will reverse the trip up, making a transfer at Triesenberg from bus 22 to 21.
Une capitale européenne à 2 heures de l'aéroport le plus proche ???
This country is so beautiful and I would love to visit it. What are major attractions in Leichtenstein?
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!
There are any agriculture job?
Not in my area of expertise. There's still plenty of farmland in the area if that's what you are asking for 😊
Malbun
