MTB Austria and Liechtenstein

I'd visited Liechtenstein before, but on the hike part of the trip, the weather was bad and the snow and landslides prevented the completion of the intended hike in the mountains. So I decided to use up one of the long weekends and have another go. This time, the weather was much much warmer and sunnier.

On one day, I did a bike ride (CX bike this time), starting in Feldkirch (Austria), riding along the Rhine to Vaduz (Liechtenstein), and crossing a few times in to Switzerland. The day started with a bit of a rain shower, but it soon cleared up.



Vaduz is not a massive place (and I don't think it's even the largest town in Liechtenstein) for a capital city. Only took a short walk around the town, but next time must get up to the castle etc.



The second day, I repeated a hike from before, but had much more success. No snow and no landslides this time. It was basically a round trip to/from Malbun (the only ski resort in the country).
