Five Castles Tour

This tour takes visitors past five castles and fortresses built on a number of hills within sight of each other. The starting point is Vaduz, the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The country's most famous landmark, Vaduz Castle has towered over the capital for the past 700 years and became the official residence of the Princely Family in 1938. Leaving Vaduz, the tour crosses the Rhine via the 'Energiebrücke' bridge and heads over the Swiss border to Buchs and on to the nearby town of Werdenberg, whose buildings and imposing castle are still in excellent condition despite dating back to the 13th century. The next section of the tour leads gently uphill to the ruins of Wartau Castle - perfect terrain for an electric bike! Visitors then head back downhill to Sargans Castle, from where they will be able to see the impressive Gutenberg Castle, a 13th-century fortress perched on a rocky outcrop 70 metres above Balzers. The Five Castles Tour then returns via cycle paths to the starting point in Vaduz.
