Daily stage Vaduz to Nendeln
From Vaduz this stage leads us through Schaan to Planken and from there down to Nendeln.
Following the Liechtenstein Trail in Vaduz, we climb steadily past the Prince of Liechtenstein Winery through the old district of Vaduz to the Red House, where a wonderful view of Vaduz Castle awaits. We then continue along a forest path to the University of Liechtenstein. The trail becomes flatter here and leads to the site of a mountain torrent (known as a Rüfe) and then to the ruins of a Roman fort in the centre of Schaan.
In Schaan we climb up to the St. Elisabeth Nunnery before a short flat section to a building known as the Gamanderhaus. From the Gamanderhaus, we climb about 300 vertical metres along forest paths up to Planken. Liechtenstein's smallest municipality offers a magnificent view of the valley and the Three Sisters mountain range above Planken. Now comes the very steep descent along a mountain trail down to Nendeln. From Nendeln, the path leads us past the remains of a Roman estate and into the centre of Nendeln.
