Day 3 of my Alpine Adventure.

I woke up to a dry and cloudy morning (rain had been forecast but thankfully didn't materialise) and decided to head over the border to Austria.

I walked past the village of Planken and through the forest to the medieval town of Feldkirch, the most westerly town in Austria. After a pleasant couple of hours wandering around and enough caffeine to wake the dead (prices are much cheaper in Austria than Switzerland or Liechtenstein) I made my way back to Liechtenstein's Schellenburg Castle and from there to the River Rhine border crossing with Switzerland.

The other noticeable thing about Austria was everybody wearing facemasks, whereas in Switzerland maybe 1 in 10 were wearing them.

From there I had an extremely wet 7 mile walk along the river to Buchs where I caught the train back to Zurich.

All in all it was a great day's hiking, apart from the river walk at the end but I was just grateful that the heavens opened on that last stretch and not whilst I was up a mountain miles from shelter and civilisation ????
