Lichtenstein

The principality of Lichtenstein, the small country on the upper Rhine river, wedged between Switzerland and Austria, has been on the travel list for a long time. With a convenient train connection from Heidelberg on an Austrian train and the summer vacation in full swing it was finally time to go:



In Feldkirch an Austrian town just outside Lichtenstein one had to change to another traintpwrds Zuorch, Switzerland



In Buchs it was only a short hop over the border to Lichtenstein


Finally in Vaduz - the capitol of Lichtenstein:

On the throne - well not the real one




The castle was under renovation:

Liechtenstein has one of the highest GDP per person in the world


Before heading back to Heidelberg a short visit at the Lakre in Werdenberg across the border in Switzerland



More fancy cars
