Probably the most famous hiking trail in Liechtenstein (difficulty level T3) through the north-west face of the “Alpspitz” (1942 m above sea level) was financed by Prince Johann II and opened in 1898. The path, which is partly carved into the rock, requires sure-footedness but rewards you with breathtaking views. A torchlight procession along the “Fürstensteig” takes place every year on Liechtenstein's national holiday. The “Kuhgrat”, the highest point of this varied mountain hike, rewards you with a spectacular view of the “Rätik-on” and the majestic mountains of Switzerland and Vorarlberg (Austria). The view down to the picturesque Rhine villages as far as Lake Constance is unforgettable, while the colorful scree flora along the way provides additional fascination. Our se-tenant panorama stamps show the Fürstensteig with the motifs “Sunset” and “Torchlight procession” on the left and the motifs “Sea of fog” and “Sea of lights” on the right (face value CHF 1.90 each).
