Schaan, FL to Walenstadt, CH Round-trip

During the five weeks visiting family and friends in Liechtenstein and Spain from Tuesday, May 20 to Saturday, June 28, 2014, I attended my niece`s huge 50th birthday celebration, visited family and friends, went sightseeing in the mountains, regularly nordic-walked the Vita Parcours trails in Schaan and enjoyed several day-rides on Mia Bella (unloaded!) along beautiful and scenic bikeways, including this 70 km round-trip from Schaan in Liechtenstein to Walenstadt on the Walensee in Switzerland.
