Biking from Austria to Liechtenstein - Cows to My Right, Pigs on the Side and I Stole from the Prince of Liechtenstein

Biking from Austria to Liechtenstein – Cows to My Right, Pigs on the Side and I Stole from the Prince of Liechtenstein

Getting a bike in Feldkirch, Austria

While researching for the trip, I found a travel forum that suggested biking in Liechtenstein. When I stayed in Feldkirch, Austria, a city located on the border with Switzerland and Liechtenstein, I checked with other people about biking to Liechtenstein from here but got talked down. Tourists at the hostel where I was staying all took the bus to Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein. At first, I didn’t want to go. My overeaten-breakfast stomach and discouraging comments from other hostelers almost convinced me to buy a day pass and hop on the Liechtenstein bus to enjoy a smooth ride. Thank god my curiosity got over my laziness, and I took bus no.2 to Hotel Gasthof Löwen to rent a bicycle. (www.hotel-loewen.at)

Feldkirch, Austria - This is Where You Stop between Switzerland and Liechtenstein

Feldkirch, Austria – This is Where You Stop between Switzerland and Liechtenstein

Feldkirch is a no-name little town in Austria. You have no business of going there unless you find yourself scratching your head and wondering how will you do Switzerland and Liechtenstein in a limited amount of time and under a shoestring budget.

Living in Central Europe is great. Where else can you make a very last-minute decision to go to another country, not one but three other countries, a few hours before the actual trip?
