Feldkirch Wildpark

Just over the Austrian border from Liechtenstein, is the mediaeval town of Feldkirch. We headed there by car yesterday, but not to visit the town. We went in search of Der Luchs.
Feldkirch wildpark has a lot going for it, not the least of which being that it is entry by donation and has a large, shady kinderspiel area for kids to go feral. The park features lots of animals typical of the region, including many types of goats - as would be expected so close to the Swiss Alps. Check out this horny beast!
Being summer, there were lots of friendly babies.

The path wanders through a mature forest and at certain points it is possible to get a good view of famous buildings in Feldkirch.
This is Schattenburg, a castle lately famous for housing a fantastic restaurant, where the Wiener Schnitzel is bigger than the plate it comes on.


And yes, we did find ourselves a Luchs (Lynx). Two, even. Mission accomplished.
Today, I have plans to finish up my tour of the Kulturweg in Schaan and then head to Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein. My Kulturweg walk kept coming unstuck by virtue of the fact that it is actually not well signposted. I found myself wandering aimlessly until I came across another signpost which inevitably pointed me back in the direction I had just arrived from. I gave up and headed to the Italian coffee shop, La Golosa. At least they speak Italian there and I don't have to mess around with my 'Ich's' and 'spreche's' - which, when put together in a sentence by my mouth just seem to come out like a long-winded sneeze.

More tomorrow!
