Signposting of trails
Walking and hiking trails in Liechtenstein are marked with coloured
signposts, which usually include location information, the route destination
and stop-off points along the way. Some have details of walking times;
these are based on an average walking speed of 4.2 kilometres per hour on
flat, easy paths. Additional time required as a result of climbs or difficult
terrain is taken into account in the walking times.
WALKING TRAIL
Walking trail
Walking trails have no specific difficulties, avoid tarmac and concrete
surfaces wherever possible, and stay away from public roads. Steep climbs
are overcome using levels, while any exposed sections are secured with
steel ropes, handholds, etc. Flowing water is crossed using footbridges.
HIKING TRAIL
Hiking trail
Hiking trails are paths that include sections of rough terrain. They are
predominantly steep and narrow and are exposed in places. Particularly
difficult sections are secured using ropes, chains, footholds, handrails,
etc. – safety equipment typical of via ferrata climbing routes. Flowing water
may have to be crossed on stepping stones or waded through.
ALPINE TRAIL
Alpine trail
Alpine trails are challenging mountain paths. They lead in part through
unmarked terrain or rocky terrain with short climbing sections. Walkers and
hikers embarking on alpine trails must be sure-footed, have a good head
for heights and be in very good physical condition. Rope and pickaxe skills
are essential.
