Another in the Get Off Your Butt Series. A hike of at least .2 miles to the cache, no micros, and a little lesson about another country or city in the world.
Vaduz (pronounced fa'duts) is the capital of the principality of Liechtenstein and the seat of the national parliament. The town, located along the Rhine, has just over 5,000 inhabitants. It's location is approximatly N47 08' E9 31'. It is believed to have been founded in the 13th century.
The most prominent landmark of Vaduz is the Vaduz Castle, the home of the reigning prince of Liechtenstein and the Liechtenstein princely family. The castle is visible from almost any location in Vaduz, being perched atop a steep hill in the middle of the city.
Vaduz has a lively tourist industry, despite being one of the very few capital cities in the world without an airport or railway station. Vaduz has a local professional soccer club, FC Vaduz which, as the other clubs in Liechtenstein, plays in the Swiss Football League. Starting in the 2008-2009 season, FC Vaduz will be the first ever Liechtenstein club to play in the Swiss Super League, Switzerland's top flight.
