1. 4.5 Russian Monument (7 reviews)
   - When Liechtenstein stood up to Stalin
   Monuments & Statues
   
   
   The monument itself is just a lowish pillar beside the road with a metal plaque on top, but the point isn't the monument itself. The point's what the monument commemorates - an extraordinary episode near the end of the second world war when some 500 Russian soldiers arrived in Liechtenstein and, notwithstanding Stalin's demands that they be repatriated, were given asylum. After seeing the monument you can have a meal or a drink at the Wirtschaft zum Löwen (or Lion Tavern) just behind it. This was where the Russians first turned up (as I was told, at three o'clock in the morning!), and where initial negotiations took place. (If you do mean to go to the Löwen, it may be wise to ring up and check it'll be open that day. (Tel +423 373 11 62.) When I went it was their day off, but according to the bus driver it's known for its excellent Käsknöpfle. Also its wine. The monument's at the end of the bus line. It's where buses turn round to go back to Vaduz. See more..
   
2. 4.5 Baeuerliches Wohnmuseum (3 reviews)
   - Authentic museum
   Historic Sites
   Like this should all museums be! So lively, so well preserved, so well arranged that I really could switch into that century. Where else you can sit at the living room table and participate daily life of farming, working with wood, family lifes, living situations, cooking and heating situations like one, two generations ago did have it. All was so well shown. There is an interessting documentation film as well. People working there are very friendly and well informed about history and likely to answer all the questions of their visitors. See more..
