A beautiful castle. Unfortunately, it's inaccessible. But Vaduz has developed into a tourist hotspot. Nice to look at.

The title is incorrect. The bicycle bridge is between Balzers and Trübbach. There are several bicycle paths on the Liechtenstein side. Sevelen also has a bicycle bridge, but it's made of wood.
