What I Found in One of the Smallest Countries in the World

  • At the heart of Europe, it's sandwiched between Switzerland and Austria. It's one of the tiniest countries on earth. The only countries smaller than it are, in descending order, Monaco (24 square miles), Tuvalu (10 square miles), Nauru (8 square miles), San Marino (2 square miles), and the Vatican City (.19 square miles!).
    A few things immediately stand out about Liechtenstein, it's stunningly beautiful, the landscape is vibrantly green, the food is great, and the trails are well worth the trip.
    I meet up with six-time Olympican Marco Buechel to hike the ridgeline trail from Malbun to Naafkopf, which follows the border with Austria. 10/10 would hike again.

    Then I hike the most talked about trail in the country, the Fürstensteig trail, which is absolutely epic.

    I was thrilled to see you hike in the Alps near where I was born and lve. The Rhätikon mountain range on the border of Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland is my home turf. It is so nice to see these mountains in one of your fabulous videos.

    Amazing. That last footage reminded me of a combo of Angel's Landing in Zion with Crawler's Ledge on the Kalalau Trail. Thank you for sharing

    Standing up there & w/ that cross. You just must feel closer to God. He’d be able to hear you. 😊
    I’d like to have a ski lift up to many areas too. This was such great camera work! Oh so much better than talking about equipment. Loving this channel.

    Amazing footage! Love the new channel! I would love to hear tips on the do's and don'ts of flying to a backpacking destination. For example, what you can and can't bring and where to get the stuff you can't bring. I always just drive to my destinations so it's easy to load up the car with gear. I'd like to step up my game and fly to some of these awesome destinations!
