Liechtensteiner Panoramaweg, Stage 1/3

From Malbun on the mountain trail dedicated to Liechtenstein’s Princess Gina, over the Augstenberg with its superb views to the Pfälzer hut, then northwards, at the foot of the Rappastein, direction Sücka.

The starting point in Malbun is some distance from the public transport stop shown in the route profile; Weite, Lonna/Heuwiese is around eight kilometres away. From Malbun, the white-red-white waymarked mountain trail climbs steadily across open meadows and pastures. Rocky sections characterise the upper part of the route. After around five kilometres, the route reaches its highest point near the Naafkopf at just over 2,350 m. By this point, a large proportion of the total ascent of around 950 metres has already been completed.

The route then turns downhill. The mountain trail descends at length across open slopes, later passing through forest and down to Sücka. Over the approximately 15 kilometres, the total descent amounts to just over 1,100 metres; with a walking time of more than five hours, the hike requires a corresponding level of stamina. The destination is also not directly served by public transport. The nearest stop shown in the route profile, Weite, Plattis, is around five kilometres away.
