The only route worth mentioning within the small state leads from Vaduz in the direction of Triessen up a steep serpentine road to Malbun, 1600 meters above sea level. The route is quite spectacular and worthwhile, but at best suitable as a coffee detour, as the 15 km distance does not exactly fill the day.
