Liechtenstein is a tiny principality bordered by Switzerland and Austria. Most tourists visit the toy-town like capital Vaduz and continue out of the country. The author hopes that this book will inspire readers to venture into the principality and to discover the impressive mountain scenery, the friendly locals and the fabulous refreshments available from the Alps. More than that, readers will discover unspoilt valleys, lonely mountain paths and exquisite alpine flowers accompanied only by the sound of the wind, tumbling streams and the squealing of the marmots.
