The rocky trail "In the Footsteps of the Smugglers" between Mauren (FL) and Auf der Egg (AT) and V is always worth a visit. The rocky trail along the Austrian-Liechtenstein border was a famous smugglers' route during the World Wars.

Today, it is primarily known as an adventurous hiking trail for climbers.

Hiking

Great path (old smugglers' path) which is mostly in Austria, but the rock face is in Liechtenstein.

Felsbandweg, a truly spectacular path that requires a little surefootedness. There are also many opportunities for sport climbers.
