Naafkopf, standing at 2,571 meters, marks the tripoint where Liechtenstein, Austria, and Switzerland meet. For hikers based in Malbun, this peak represents one of the most rewarding full-day adventures. The ascent typically begins from the Pfälzerhütte or via the Sareis chairlift, leading through rocky terrain and past alpine lakes. On a clear day, the summit rewards with a panoramic sweep across the Rhine Valley, the Swiss Alps, and the Austrian mountains. The experience is distinctly alpine, crisp air, wildflowers in summer, and the occasional sighting of ibex or marmots. The final scramble to the summit is steep but non-technical, making it accessible to fit hikers. What sets Naafkopf apart is its geographical significance: standing at the meeting point of three nations adds a unique thrill. Many visitors pause at the summit marker to take photos symbolizing their presence in all three countries at once.
