Liechtenstein - Land for Skiers
Land for Skiers Liechtenstein posses
all the characteristics of Switzerland - the Alps, skiing, clean mountain. Its currency is
Swiss frank. Full country name: Principality of Liechtenstein Its major industries are: Dental
products, hardware, pottery, specialty machinery, stamps. The mountains of Liechtenstein
are fine for skiing and hiking. You could also turn your hands and legs to mountaineering
and the more vigorous ski mountaineering. Liechtenstein does not have a strong tradition
in the arts. The language is German. The architecture varies according to region, but
houses generally have ridged roofs with wide, overhanging eaves, and balconies and
verandahs enlivened by colourful displays of flowers. Smaller than Belgium, smaller than
most Caribbean Islands, smaller than almost anywhere, Liechtenstein is sandwiched between
Switzerland to the west and Austria to the east. Despite all the mountains, Liechtenstein
enjoys a relatively mild climate. The Postage Stamp Museum contains more than 300 frames
of stamps issued since 1912. For ski buffs there's even a Ski Museum, open only in the
afternoons. |
