Dear reader,
Last spring, I decided I would walk from the southern end of Manhattan to my home in Harlem: eight winding miles through parks and neighborhoods, past restaurants and bars. I could hardly walk three feet without encountering another human. Around that same time, with almost comic timing, I received a note from the writer Andrew Altschul about walking across the entire European country of Liechtenstein—in three days. Yes, I was interested.
In May of 2023, Andrew traveled to the country—landlocked between Switzerland and Austria—to tackle the Liechtenstein Trail, which was inaugurated in 2019 to celebrate the country’s tricentennial. Adventures of all sorts followed, as did this feature, which will surely inspire you to get out there yourself. |
