about Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein

The Principality of Liechtenstein (pronounced "LEEKH-ten-shtine" (IPA: ['lik.tɛn.ʃtaɪn]; SAMPA: ["lik.tEn.StaIn]) is a small, doubly landlocked country in central Europe, bordered by Switzerland to its west and by Austria to its east. Being mountainous, it is a winter sports resort. It is also known as a tax haven.

Liechtenstein geography

Liechtenstein is situated in the Rhine valley in the Alps. The entire western border of Liechtenstein is formed by this river. The eastern part of the country is located at higher altitude, the highest point being the Grauspitz, at 2,599 m (8,527 ft.).

Despite its alpine location, prevailing southerly winds make the climate of Liechtenstein rather mild. In winter, the mountain slopes are well suited to winter sports.

Liechtenstein is one of only two double landlocked countries in the world, i.e. a country that is surrounded by other landlocked countries. The other example is Uzbekistan.
