The Historical Eschnerberg Trail
Liechtenstein is a hiker's heaven due to its Alpine scenery and charming cities and villages. Indeed, this little country attracts outdoor enthusiasts from all across Europe to its numerous untouched mountain peaks, forested slopes, and beautiful valleys.
The Historical Eschnerberg Trail, which runs between Bendern and Schellenberg, teaches tourists about Liechtenstein's old roots and leads up to the prehistoric towns of Lutzengütle and Malanser.

Signs contain information on anything from archaeological discoveries to the history of the Unterland's five towns, the surrounding scenery, and local myths and tales. The Historical Eschnerberg Trail winds through the calm woodland to Schellenberg, where hikers may enjoy breathtaking views of the Rhine Valley, the Rätikon massif, the Alvier chain of mountains, and the majestic Alpstein peak.
