It's really healing. I was moved to tears by these 4 beautiful places in Liechtenstein.
Before going to Liechtenstein, I really didn't expect that this tiny country would be so healing. From the moment I landed, it felt like stepping into a summer animation scene.
The scenery of the Alps is no less than that of Switzerland, but the cost is much lower. Although I only stayed for two nights and two days, the itinerary was a bit like a special forces mission.
🏞Route:
Cathedral of St. Florin ~ Triesenberg & Parish Church of St. Joseph ~ Malbun & Friedenskapelle Malbun
1⃣Cathedral of St. Florin
This medieval cathedral really doesn't look big. The Gothic-style tower soars into the sky, looking quite fairy-tale-like. This is already the largest church in this mini capital. When I arrived, it was almost evening, and it was closed.

2⃣Triesenberg & Parish Church of St. Joseph
The next day, I hitched a ride with my roommate to Triesenberg. This is a famous hiking route in Liechtenstein, with picturesque scenery all the way. From the observation deck, you can see the top view of the Alps.
The Parish Church of St. Joseph, halfway up the mountain, is the only attraction along the way, surrounded by a cemetery, looking quite fairy-tale-like.

Malbun is a mountain village in Triesenberg. This village is a ski resort in winter, with many holiday homes🏘. In summer, it is very suitable for hiking, and there are markets. Walking through the lush green valley is mesmerizing.
🕍There is a small stone chapel nestled in the Alps. Inside the chapel, besides the dazzling stained glass, there is a unique Trinity icon, feeling mysterious and dreamy.
