Lichtenstein

Vaduz : Liechtenstein.

 A visit here was a must on my road trip back to Denmark after a long summer vacation trip through southern  Europe.   The scenery in the Alps here is one of sheer enjoyment although the temperature change from sea level was immediately noticeable. This is a souvenir card that I got here of my visit.

 Liechtenstein . A principality in the Alps  that is a doubly landlocked German speaking Alpine country and micro state in Central Europe that is bordered by Switzerland to the south and west and Austria to the north and east its area is just over 160 square kilometers ( 62 sq. miles ) The population is usually around 35,000 with Vaduz being the Capital, although the largest town is Shaan .Liechtenstein has the highest gross domestic product (GDP )  per person than anywhere in the world,  Also boasts the lowest unemployment rate at around 1.5 %. Liechtenstein is the richest ( per measure of GDP per capita ) country in the world and the only country that lies completely in the Alps.
