Gaflei, perched on a terrace above the Rhine Valley, is one of Liechtenstein's most beloved viewpoints and a gateway to alpine adventures. From this spot, visitors are treated to breathtaking panoramas of the valley, the Swiss Alps, and the distant Lake Constance on clear days. Gaflei is best known as the trailhead for the Fürstensteig, a thrilling cliffside path that hugs the mountainside with steel cables and ladders, offering dramatic views. The area also features a small mountain inn where hikers can rest and enjoy local cuisine. In summer, wildflowers carpet the meadows, while autumn brings golden foliage. Whether you're an experienced hiker or just seeking a scenic picnic spot, Gaflei delivers an unforgettable alpine experience.
