Fancy a view that stretches from the Pizol to the Säntis? Then you’re standing at the right spot the Aussichtsturm Gaflei.
This isn’t just another stone structure. The Aussichtsturm Gaflei tells a tale of Liechtenstein’s vision. It’s a story etched in stone and concrete built in 1930.
Imagine this area nearly a century ago. The Alphotel Gaflei was attracting visitors. Someone had the brilliant idea to add a tower. A place to soak in the panoramic views of the Rhine Valley.
The Aussichtsturm Gaflei is made of stone. Look closely and you’ll see how the stones are stacked. The steps leading up are concrete. The handrails glint made of aluminum.
There are 34 steps to the top. That’s not too bad. As you climb consider families enjoying picnics here on warm sunny days. The Aussichtsturm Gaflei has always been a magnet for locals and tourists alike.
Reach the top. At six meters high the Aussichtsturm Gaflei offers more than just fresh air. It gives you a stage. A stage to view Liechtenstein from a different level.
On a clear day the Rhine Valley unfolds beneath you. Your gaze can sweep from the Pizol to the Säntis mountains. Take a moment. Breathe in the alpine air and frame the perfect photo. Many visitors use the tower for a small photo session.
The Aussichtsturm Gaflei is more than a lookout. It’s a landmark. A testament to Liechtenstein’s enduring appeal. A place where memories are made.
When you come down remember the path that brought you here. Perhaps you came from Vaduz. Maybe you hiked the narrow path through the woods past Wildschloss. No matter the route, the Aussichtsturm Gaflei has rewarded you with its beauty.
